QUESTION: I think is 4 ohm but can you give me the wiring options for both 2 and 4 ohm?

Answer
For 4 ohm DVC - http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/SERIES-DUAL.jpg

This will result in an 8 ohm load and is the ONLY safe way to connect it to keep the amp from going into protect mode. The sub will only get half the power this way (540 watts RMS).

For 2 ohm DVC wire as above for a 4 ohm load with the amp bridged.
