Re: parallel wiring
run both positives to the same positive on the amp, both negatives to the same negative on the amp. Or run pos on one sub to pos on other sub to amp. same with negative

Re: parallel wiring
Run one positve to one positive on the amp, one negative to one negative on the amp. Use different positive and negatives for each sub.
