Understanding Ohms (audio)

i was looking at pairing a clarion pxw1251/52 sub with a clarion dpx1800 amp. However, the 1251 is a dual 2ohm where as the 1252 is a dual 4 ohm. I want to pair it with the amp only if I can run it at 2 ohms but i didn't know if the amp could handle that. here are the links for both:

Maybe I am incorrect however. Don't you wire the dual coil sub in series so that it equals 4 ohms? or can you wire it so that it is just 2? im slightly confused on that matter. Thanks for the info so far!!
