i take it they're dual 4ohms, wired in parallel to give you 2. Wire them both in parallel and then right into the amp, giving you a final load of 1ohm. 600w @ 1ohm.

If each sub is dual 2 ohm, then wire each sub up in series which gives you a 4 ohm load on each sub, the wire the subs up in parallel, which will give you a total of a 2 ohm load. The JBL is supposed to put out max power at 1 and 2 ohms. Good luck.
