hmm....in that case..to get the most performance IF each subwoofer is a 4ohm sub. On the box RED=Positive Black=negative. simple enough just wire them into the box..on the terminals outside...what you wanna do...since you now have 4 spots for speaker wire they'll look like this
+ - + -
connect ONE postive terminal into the NEGATIVE terminal on the other speaker. You will have two open terminals left a POSTIVE terminal on one speaker..a NEGATIVE on the other speaker. You have now created an 8 OHM Load. Now Take the remaining speaker terminals..use them as your POSITIVE (+) and your NEGATIVE (-) to the amplifier. On the amp you also have 4 terminals Refer to your manual on how to install 1 speaker onto your 2 channel amp. You will only use 2 terminals on your amplfier. You will use One positive .... and One negative. (one terminal on channel 1 and the other terminal on channel 2). That will create more than enough power since your amp is bridged.

ok I think I understand...so INSIDE the box...when wiring the subs, i take a positive from one sub, go to the negative on the other...then I use the other negative and positive for the black and red terminal on the box...now on the amp...I am still a little confused on how to wire this...if its bridged i just wire it into the bridged screws...because there are 2 holes which connect with a line and say 'bridged' i wish i could take pictures :-P
