That means it can only be ran in 2 or 8 ohms.

Ok lets make this easy.

Dual 4 ohm coils.

Wire the coils in series you have 4 ohm + 4 ohm which equals 8 ohms.

Wire the coils parallel and you divide 4 ohms by 2 = 2 ohms

So which would give me the best results using A1200 ppi amp that runs 4ohm stable?

Well, neither, honestly. At 2 ohms your amp will go into protection mode right away, since it isn't 2 ohm stable. At 8 ohms, you won't be getting nearly full output from the amp.

You think i should wire it in 4 ohms? Did you see the pic on this post of how they were wired? Not sure what the ohms are. No one seems to no:{

You CAN'T wire a 4 ohm DVC subwoofer to 4 ohms. It can ONLY be wired to 2 or 8 ohms.

Do you have one or two of these subs?

If you have two of them, you need to wire them like this for a 4 ohm final load :
