Default DVC sub wiring?

Ok, I've got two Kicker 10" Dual 4-ohm Voice Coil subs and a Kicker 750 watt mono sub amp. I'm wondering what the best way to wire these would be? I've never wired DVC subs before.

Assuming its a Kicker ZX, because iirc the KX series was a 600.1 not 750, its only 2 ohm stable. Which means youre kinda fucked. You can either run your amp at 4 ohms with both subs, or ditch one sub and run 750 watts to just one, both being somewhat shitty options. Best options being to return the subs for dual 2 ohm ones, or get a 1 ohm stable amp.

With The 2 Dual 2 Ohm Subs - Wire 2 Vc On Each Sub In Series And Then The 2 Subs In Parrell - 2 Ohm Load - Your Amp Will Be Happy,
