question about ohms

my amp chart on the website is broken down like this...

into 4ohm 2x300 watts
into 2ohms 2x600 watts
into 1ohm 2x1200 watt
into 4ohm 1x600 watt
into 2ohm 1x1200 watt
into 1ohm 1x2400 watts

these are all RMS watts

how do i hook two 2 10" subwoofers with dual 2-ohm voice coils so they run at 2ohms and i get 600 watts per sub? or even 1200 watts at 1ohm?

im looking at getting the blaunkpunkt vw1000's

You need to wire them in a series/parallel configuration. Check out Rockford's or JL's website. They have some pretty good wiring tips. Basically, you will wire each sub in series for a 4 ohm load per sub. Then wire the subs together in parallel to get a 2 ohm load.
