Yes. Most head units only put out about 15-20 watts RMS, you need more than that to properly power a subwoofer. Ignore peak ratings, only use RMS ratings to match everything together.

you need an amplifier first. decide where you want the amp, and wire it to that point.

Whats the proper way to wire up two duel voice coil subwoofers in a series in an American car just from the amp to the subwoofers?
Well, if they share a box, then you will need to make sure that your amp RCA's are connected to the back of your CD players auxillary ports. Then you will need to run the power wire from your amp to the battery, and you will need to find a nice ground on your from somewhere. Then connect your remote wire. After all that, you will need to connect your box, or boxes, to the amp. In which case, you will need to make sure that you have the positive and negative for the amp and the speakers alligned right. DO NOT BRIDGE UNLESS YOUR SPEAKERS SAY THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE. I cannot stress that enough. Anyway, that's about it.
