New and Need advise on set up

[jay357 10+ year member]

I just bought a box for two tens for a f150 reg cab, so the box is small. It only has one terminal in the back and the two positives and two negatives for each speaker are ran to this terminal. I dont know what subs to buy for this box or what kind of amp. Is this running the speakers in series like this? Should I buy a single channel amp or dual? Also it is a mtx thunderform box....Does anyone know they sound like crap or not? Im new to this and need help.

dont worry about the terminals, you can wire the speakers in parallel so you dont have to use both of them. you can if you wish but i find it to be easier to tune a mono block amp with one output versus trying to get two gains and crossovers identical. so how much air space does that box have and what kind of budget do you have for an amp and subs?

If the box only has one terminal, and inside the box it has two positive and two negatives leads hooked into it for each speaker, then isnt that allready set up parrallel. I would just have to hook the speakers up, right? The box volume is 1.8 cubic feet.

not to get off topic but i was starting to look at the L5's just because of availability and if i blow one i can get another the same day. the other thing is mounting depth is shallow and air space is minimal.
