The Shiva is a dual 8ohm voice coil speaker. Wire the coils in parallel, then each speaker in parallel and you'll want to bridge your amp for 225w into the ohm effective load. You might want to check out the Stryke SAE 12" as they are 2 for $199 with about the same specs, but a little 300w power handling instead of 600w.
