Kicker amp and subs - help

[Mista808]

I have a Kicker KX1200.1 mono amp and I just purchased 2 Kicker L7 12 inch SUBS that are http://acaraudio.com/product_info.php?products_id=188 here. Please check out the specs (those of you who know what OHMS mean etc.) and let me know if this amp will power both of these subs just fine. Do these have to be set up for 4OHM or can they be set for 2? cause if they're set up for 4ohm doesn't that mean it only puts off 300 X 4 is what the amp specs says but it puts out way more for 2 ohm.

Dual Voice Coil subwoofer wiring options

* Option 1: Both voice coils wired in parallel. This is the ideal load for many subwoofer mono amplifiers. In the case of a dual 4 ohm subwoofer, this would produce a 2 ohm load.

* Option 2: Both voice coils wired in series. This is useful when wiring multiple subwoofers to an amplifier. For example, wiring both coils of a dual 4 ohm subwoofer in series produces an 8 ohm load. Wiring this in parallel with an identically configured subwoofer produces an overal load of 4 ohms - perfect for most bridged two channel amplifiers.

I wish all that made sense to me. So what you're saying is the amp should be just fine? I don't want it to ever clip or cut off from too much bass or anything from the 2 L7s. And I'm taking it OPTION #1 is the one you'd suggest I do or?

Yes thats the option I would suggest since the 1200.1 is a 1 ohm stable mono amp.
