Ask Crutchfield- they have a chat feature and I'm sure they have diagrams.

whats the ohm load? if they are 4 ohms you can run them separately 2 channels stereo 4 ohms each or bridged mono in series for a 2 ohm or parallel for 8 ohm. if they are dedicated bass channel i would do bridged mono. wiring depends on your subs ohm load. if they are 2 ohm then you can do 1 or 4 ohm, 8 ohm would be 4 ohm or 16 ohm ( though i wouldnt do 16 ohm)

get back to me with ohm load and ill windows paint you up a diagram.

need more info
are the 10" dual coil??
I'm gonna guess and say they'r 4 ohm..
even if the amp will take a 2 ohm load.. you don't want to wire it that way..
it'll be to loud and it will heat up the amp to fast and it will shut itself down..
good 2 ohm load ampd are 600.00+ for a mono block
also what type box
ported
sealed
or bandpass..
ported is loose . if you like that sound. build that
bandpass is boomy.. sound likes shit but is loud and uses the least power per Db of output
and sealed is tight.. but uses the most power and the box tends to need to be bigger..
but gives the best sound (no coloration)
I'd run it like ford guy said
one sub per channel.. into a 4 ohm load..
now pick the type box and go..
if you like it loud ..
you're gonna need a 1 farad cap..
or plan on rebuilding your alt .offen and get the longest battery warranty you can.. Wink

I'd look for a mono block amp if you haven't bought one yet..
as they'll be better parts in the power surply circuit and output stages..
as they only need one output stage not 2(2 channel amp)
and bass is mostly mono.. unless the recording of the dual bass kick drum is recorded in 2 channel (lot of hard rocks recorded this way)
good luck..
and get a fan .. and run another power line to it to power it.. to cool the amp.,don't use the power line that you wire the amp ..some radios have a powr output for an amp turn on. but not poer the amp..
you can use this with a relay to turn the fan on and off. with the radio

theyre 2 ohm dvc cvrs the amp is 2 ohm stable. it was only 499.99 for the amp. im running a sealed box in my truck right now. probably swap to ported again later. I picked up 4 15" Mtx sor my wagon btw.

connect + of one voice coil to the - of the other voice coil on one speaker. then run the open positive to the positive terminal on the amp and negative to the negative. that will your 4 ohm load. very stable. very loud.

yeah yeah i did it real fast and i never said i could draw for shit anyway...
