Default Combo efficiency help

I haven't been into car stereos in years. I forgot about running subs in series and parallel and all that junk. I was wondering if this combo could work efficiently:

2 - Orion HP 10D2's

1 - Phoenix Gold RSD600.1
http://www.phoenixgold.com/2004/rsdamps.html

Thanks in advance!

I browsed through the understanding ohms section in the faq, but I didn't see anything about dual voice coil speakers.

Looks like that would make a great combo but youll need the single voice coils to make a 2ohm load on that mono block amp. Wire the 2 single voice coil speakers in parallel

A friend showed me this link today.

If I wired them up this way would it work?
