yes but i wont to use all five so like right now they are wired up all parallel to the amp it sound ok but the amp turns off somethimes like the amp is 1200 RMS and the subs are 1500 RMS in total so is this i good wireing option or is there others to try ? the amp is JBL 1200 so they say that it puts out like 1300 RMS
power 2 of them and use the other 3 as passive radiators? 
as was said, using four in parallel is your best bet. five 4 ohm subs in parallel is 0.8ohms nominal (which will realistically appear almost like a short at the outputs of the amp) drawing a LOT of current and causing your amp's protection circuitry to kick in so it doesn't self destruct!

Wire 2 subs in series, do that twice, then wire the 2 pairs in parallel along with the 5th sub in parallel

Should give a 2 ohm load
or 2 in series and parallel the rest
