Connect the + of 1 coil to the + on the amp connect the - on the other coil to the - on the amp...then connect the + and - that arent hooked up to each other.

...you obviously havent used a type-x. I know HOW to wire vc's in 8 ohm series... I did it to my 2 memphis 12's so they could run in parallel at 4 ohms on my amp. This has some wierd jumper things that look like fuses in your car. There's 3 slots, and 2 jumpers.... odd... i think i figured it out though.

doesnt have one.... bought it from DaGh0st... figured it out though... theres 3 slots for these jumper things... there's 4 slots for power wire. The 2 outside slots for the jumpers makes the subwoofer's voice coils wired in parallel, while putting a single jumper in the middle with no others makes it series. On the power wire holes, there's one that has in very small writing "series +" and another on the other side that says "series -" So i put the wires where they need to go, and the jumpers are pretty neat, no more extra wire needed, wire it just like a svc sub. Very happy with the sound output on such meager power. I would like more output from the 80-140hz range though, but i think i need more power for that.
