Not quite sure what your question is here...but, as far as wire goes, wire is wire. Some of your wire may have +++ and ---- or something along those lines drawn on it, but its all the same wire. Each of your subs will have a + and - terminal to them. As well as your amp, should have 2 sets of +- combos. Run a wire from the negative sub terminal to the negative amp. And then positive sub terminal to the positive amp. Do this process for both subs.

most likely if you've bought something labeled "speaker wire" it will be a pair of wires joined together. one of the wires out of the pair will most-likely have a mark or a line running down it. This is only to distinguish which is which, say when you have the speakers in the door and you run the wire all the way to the trunk. just make sure negative->negative and positive->postive from amp->sub. you can make the lined-wire your positive or your negative. doesn't matter.
