either 4 or 8, I would guess 4...

i dunno how many ohm they are but right now i have them both on the bridged option of my amp, it seems to be louder. i dunno

well, assuming they are 4ohm svc...you would be bridging it @ 2 ohms if you hooked them up in parallel. that is positive to positive to positive and negative to negative to negative. otherwise you would get 8 ohms. if your amp can handle 2 ohms bridged, just stick with that.

EDIT: and what kind of amp is it?

its a boss 600w 2 channel it seems to handle it, i know my old amp would pop fuses if i tried to do that
