You mean 600 Watts @ 4 Ohms
Yes, you can do this with those subs.
This amp is a 2 Channel and you want to bridge it for max power.
Wire each voice coil in Parallel, which will give you 2 Ohms per sub. Then take the Positive from each terminal on the box, and put the two positives to one channel and the negatives to the other channel on the Amp.
Its usually marked Bridged under the speaker terminals on the amp, or take a look at the manual that comes with the amp.

Sorry I made a mistake, must have been half asleep when I wrote that reply.
You have to runwires from one sub to the other in series, after you have parallel wired the coils on each sub.
2 + 2 wired in series equals 4 Ohms.

would that give 1200 watts at 2 ohms? they are dual 4 ohm subs

No, it would not be 1200 watts. The amp will output a max of 600. If you attempt to bridge the amp as clarified in the second post it will work. The first post will most likely cause the amp to overheat.
An alternate way, and simpler, is to wire each sub in parallel (achieving 2-Ohms each) and then wire each sub to one channel of the amp. 300x2 @ 2Ohm.
