Wiring question

So, I have "2" 2 ohm dvc subs in separate chambers, not connected to each other. I run the in series inside the box. Now, I have a set of terminals on the back of the box, for each. If I want to run them parallel, do I?

A) run a + to the other +, and a - to the other -. Then run one set of terminals to an amp or,

B) run the +'s together, joining them, then to the amp (same with the -'s)

Not sure if there is much of a difference.

Cool, thanks! Also wondering, better to run each sub in series, inside the box, then parallel outside. So, bringing impedance up, then down.
Or, parallel inside, then series outside. So, bringing impedance down, then up.

I always thought going with the higher impedance, first, is best, then bringing it back down. Not sure why (heat maybe?), but sounds better.

I've always done series then parallel. But it really doesnt matter

Thanks, I've got just too much time to think. Waiting on my subs to ship.
