Answer
Hi Kevin,

If the subwoofers are 4ohm each, wire them in parallel to the amplifier which will bridge it down to 2ohms and will be fine.

I can't tell you exactly what settings to set because that changes based on what you want, the specific amplifier, etc.  All you need to do is turn everything down, hook it up, and then slowly turn it up until it sounds good, and isn't distorted.

It's completely normal for the amplifier to get hot.  If it gets too hot for the amplifier's safe operation, it should shut itself off, so don't worry about that.
