Will a Jensen PowerPlus 1302 push 2 12" kicker CVR 2ohm subwoofers wired in a series/parallel setup equaling a total 2 ohm impendance? Without burning out.

I'm a bit confused looking at the specs of the amp.

The specs are as follows:

* 1300 watt 2 channel high powered amp
* Designed to meet or exceed the CEA-2006 test standards
* 320 x 2 Watts RMS, 2-ohm
* 650 x 1 Watts RMS, 4-ohm Bridged
* Deep-bass reproduction
* Low harmonic distortion
* Low profile aluminum extruded heat sink
* Diagnostic LED's
* Compact design allows great flexibility in mounting
* Built-in low-pass and high-pass crossover filters for bi-amplifying the system
* Blue illuminated VU level meter and logos
* Encapsulated power and speaker connectors
* Green operation and red protection LEDs
* Protection circuit that safeguards against short circuits, DC-offset and thermal overload
* Variable bass EQ 0-12 dB at 45 Hz
* Dimensions: Width (inches): 15.5 x Height (inches): 2.3 x Depth (inches): 11.6 x Weight (lbs): 11.4
* Pass Through outputs
* Power Source: 12V
* Frequency Response Low (in Hz): 5
* Frequency Response High (in Hz): 60000
* VU output level Meters
* Fuse/Type: Thermal Overload
* Stereo Outputs + Input
* Power Terminal: Encapsulated
* Amplifier Class: AB
* 650 watts RMS Output
* Response Low (Hz): 5
* Response High Hz: 60000
* Signal to Noise: 100
* Low profile Aluminum extruded heat sink
* Pass-Thru RCA's
* Variable Bass EQ 0 - 12dB @ 45Hz
* 12dB / octave Low Pass and High Pass filters
* Variable Input Level 400mV - 5V
* Encapsulated power and speaker connectors
* Short circuit, DC-offset and Thermal Overload protection circuitry
* Blue illuminated VU level meter(s)
* Diagnostic LED's - Green: Power, Red: Standby / Fault
* Low Pass filter 50 - 250Hz
* High Pass filter 40 - 500Hz
* High Pass / Low Pass / Full Range selector switch
* Stereo/Mono Mode switch
* Remote Input Level Control w/ 5 meter interface cable
* Load Impedance: 2-4ohm
* Signal to Noise @ 1 kHz: >100dB (rated power)
* Channel Separation @ 1 kHz: >60dB
* Frequency Response: 5-60 kHz, -3dB
* Input Impedance: 20 kHz, nominal
* THD+N @ 5 watts: 0.02%, 1 kHz, 14.4VDC
* Fuse rating: 60A

Part of the manual says :

Amp will not drive a 1
ohm mono load, 2 ohm
minimum in mono
configuration

Does that mean the amplifier is stable at 2ohms when both channels are bridged?
