So my friend has these pretty old Pyle Driver Series Subwoofers, i think they are 2 15's. Anyways how should i wire them to my amp to test if they work? ill be wiring to an old Pioneer GM5000T. 760W I believe. They each have 1 voice coil of course

test them on a wall outlet, just wire up 2 wires and stick them in the socket to see if they work. Easiest way to tell.

I hope he does it, I hope he does it, I hope he does it, I hope he does it,

lol, multimeter dude. check the impedence

What is the vc impedance? First thing I would do is check the coils with a DMM to ensure that you're not connecting a bad sub to a good amp. If the coil values check then you could simply connect one sub to each channel to verify that you don't have any mechanical issues.
