+ to + and - to - ..BTW what ohm rating is given for the subs..They better be 8 ohm or you had better have a 2 ohm stable amp or your amp is gonna fry.

What mykeys is trying to tell you is this. To run your subs in parallel you are running your amp in mono. Therefore if your subs are only 4ohm subs your amp has to be 2 ohm stable or it will overheat and shutdown or "fry". So if your subs are 8ohm or DVC you will have no problems, if your amp is 2ohm stable you won't have any problems but you'll have to have one or the other. Also to wire 2 subs in parallel is very simple: connect your + of sub1 to the + of sub2 and feed that to the positive terminal of one channel of your amplifier, next connet the - of sub1 to the - of sub2 to the opposite channel's negative terminal..............Hope that helps you.
