Quick Stereo Question

I'm installing two Kicker 10" L7s and a Kicker ZR360 amp. I'm wondering how to bridge the two subs to the amp. Do I connect both positives of the speakers to the right + and both negatives to the left -? I think this is right but I want to make sure before I hook them up and blow something. Thanks.

i believe if u wire the two in parallel would be better than bridging them but check to see if your amp can handle being briged 2 a 2ohm load

Yeah, it can handle a 2 ohm load. Actually, by bridging them I should be running a 1 ohm load. The speakers have dual 4 ohm voice coils that can be wired to either run 2 ohms per sub or 8 ohms. I've got each sub running at 2 ohms. Please help, I really want these in soon. They've been sitting in my living room for about a month now becuase my car was in a wreck and I didn't want the system in the car when it went to the mechanic. Thanks in advance for your help.

Parallel the voice coils on each sub and then run the subs in stereo.
