  1. Fosgate has a great woofer diagram wizard. Go to this link and it will tell you exactly what you want to know for your particular set-up!

  2. Take a look at this diagram:  http://mobile.jlaudio.com/graphics/Suppo...

    The diagram shows one sub and one amp.  Each of your subs should be wired as shown, and each should be connected its own amplifier channel; one to the left channel, and one to the right.

    Another option is this: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/graphics/Suppo...

    You can wire them like this, and connect them to the amplifier's "bridged" terminals.  That's actually a better way to do it in my opinion, because both subs will then be playing the exact same signal.  

  3. You can't..

    The only way you can wire two, 4 ohm, dual voice coil(DVC) subs is either at 1 or 4 ohm.

    The only way to get a 2 ohm load is w/ two DVC subs. Two DVC's can give you a 2 or .5 ohm load.

    Are you sure the amp is 2 ohm stable. You say it says 2x300.. does that mean Without bridging it?  

    Example: 150x2 @ 4 ohm

                   300x2 @ 2 ohm

                   600x1 @ 4 ohm

    .....be sure not to bridge it is it's not 2 ohm stable in bridge mode.

    What is the RMS rating on each sub? If the RMS of One sub matches the Peak of the amp, maybe try just using only the one, which would be 2 ohm. One sub can sound extremely sufficient when powered properly.
