Do you have 1 or 2 subs? or more? If you have two here is your wiring possiblities:

Stereo
2 x 4ohms (Coils Series)
2 x 1ohm (Coils paralleled)

Mono
1 x 2ohms (Coils Paralleled then both subs in series)
1 x 1/2ohm (Coils Paralleled then both subs in parallel)

1 x 8ohms (Coils Series then both subs in series)

1 x 2ohms (Coils Series then both subs in parrallel)
