Default stupid sub/amp combo question help!

ok, right now i have a directed 600d powering my 15" rf hx2... well i blew one of the voicecoils somehow...

ok my question is, i want to get 2 12s. i was thinking rockford he2's
now the wiring and all that i know about, but w/ the directed amp i dont know if i should get dual 2 or 4ohm subs. the dei amp puts the most out at 2ohms. but, could i put out 2 ohms to the subs in 2 channels, or should i wire both subs together and put it in one channel..... **** i could wire the 2 subs together and get 1ohm right. the amp really puts out the most at 1ohm.... OK somebody help im confused now.

If your gonna run 1 ohm, make sure your amp is stable at one ohm. I would suggest running your system at 2 ohms at the most. That is only if you are more concerned with loudness rather than quality. As for single or dual coils it is a matter of preference. When figuring out wiring, use a wiring wizard to get all of your options and figure out what is best for your application.

yeh i know all the wiring stuff, but the directed amp is stable at 1ohm and puts out like 750 rms at 1 ohm. would it be safer just to run it at a bridged 2ohm the both subs?
