the coil config is just to match your amp ohm config.

the 2 channels should bridge down to 2 ohms, so get the D4, wire it in parallel to get a 2 ohm load.

*edit*

as edhardy shows below, it bridges at 4 ohms, so you should get the D2

From what i gather the power acoustic is a four channel amplifier which should be bridgeable at a four ohm load. The dual two subwoofer would be able to be wired in series to a four ohm load to maximize the full potential of the amplifier without running it at a lower than recommended load which can cause warranty issues and may damage your amplifier.
So in short use the Dual two subwoofer. Smile

*edit*

but isn't the amp supposed to produce more power at a low ohm?
