Need an advice, for Sub and Amp connection

[Adel]

I just got Pioneer GM-D8701 rated as follows:

300 rms @ 4 ohm
500 rms @ 2 ohm
800 rms @ 1 ohm

And I got the Pioneer TS-D12D4,
DVC 4 ohm each
rated 600 watts

So it can be connected as 4 ohm , but in this case the amp will deliver only 300 Watts.

What is the best combination for sound quality, I don't care about spl , I like tight bass.

Thank you all.

If your sub is d4 your only real option is to wire in parallel for a two ohm load.

Thank you for your reply.

What if I wire in series for 8 ohm load ?
Sorry for my newbie questions, but wouldn't it have better sound quality (tight bass) but with less power? Cause I tried the model with 2 ohm dual voice coil and bass was boomy connected at 4 ohm.
