Help: Subwoofer Wiring

Forgive me if something like this has been posted already, but I need some help with wiring my subs.

I usually just bring my stuff to a sound place and get them to install but I want to see if I can get more power to my subs by wiring them differently.

Right now I have a Boss Audio 545 2-channel amp. For my subs I have 2 Audiobahn AW1051T's that have dual 4 ohm voice coils and they are bridged on the amp.

Here's some specs on the amp:

And some specs on the subs:

Which sub/amp wiring setup can give me the most out of my system?

Any help would be appreciated.

The Boss amp can only be used into 4 ohms when bridged. So the first thing is to figure what wiring configuration will give you 4 ohms for the amp. And that is to wire the voice coils for each sub in series and then wire the subs in parallel to the amp. Boss says your amp will produce 500 watts into 4 ohms when bridged. I would say that is overrated. If it is close, though, it is reasonable for your subs. While on the subject, I think it is asking a lot for a 2 channel amp of this quality to be used for this purpose. The power supply capabilities of this amp are not ideal for sub use.
