I've been told wiring them in series can lead to really weird distortion in one speaker. Basically, since electricity travels one way, the first sub can **** up the signal which then goes to the second sub, and makes bad stuff happen. This would be heavily dependant on what subs you have.

Jmac is right again. If 2 subs are paralleled, and one blows, as far as the rest of the system is concerned, that sub no longer exists because it has open-circuited. IMO, It's like attaching a hunk a metal to one of the wires going to a sub. Just because it's there doesn't mean the amp is gonna notice.
