Mono amp: hook up 2 wires to the positive speaker output, and 2 wires to the negative speaker output. Hook the positives up to the positive leads on the subs, and the negatives to the negatives.
Stereo amp: one positive wire to each positive output on the amp, same with negative. Make sure you get corresponding positive and negative to each sub.
Stereo amp running bridged (mono): It's normally the outter positive and negative leads, but refer to the manual. Wire same way as a mono amp, just use the bridge outputs.
Mono or Bridged would be running 2 ohms if you are running single coil subs. Stereo would be 4 ohms. If you have a dual coil sub (such as Kicker Comp VR), you would want to run stereo because those subs run 2 ohm's stock do to the dual voice coils. Or 1 amp per sub unless you have a 1 ohm stable amp, which most likely you don't.
To wire two subwoofers in parallel, connect the positive terminal of the first sub to the positive terminal of the amplifier, and do the same for the negative terminals. Then, connect the negative terminal of the first sub to the negative terminal of the second sub, and the positive terminal of the second sub to the positive terminal of the amplifier. This method decreases the overall impedance, allowing the amplifier to deliver more power to both subs. Ensure the amplifier can handle the lower impedance load created by the parallel configuration.
I think if you have 2 subs, you have to wire them in parallel so they are both loaded to 4 ohms, then the amplifier will see a 2 ohm load. what amp are yu using? im planning on getting a 2ohm stable class d mono amplifier for my 4 ohm DVC Subs. You need to wire both positives to one positive input and both negatives to one negative input for parallel wiring. That's what ive learned. Since your amplifier is stable at 2 ohms, you shud get a lot of power.
a channel refers to the speakers or subs. for example a 2 channel amp can power 2 subs or speakers. a 4 channel will power 4.
You get more power by wiring the speakers in parallel, but you need to verify that the amplifier can handle that configuration or you may blow the amp.
The problem you have there is that your sub woofer needs both coils wired and your options with that setup is either 2 ohms or 8 ohms depending on if you wire the sub itself in series or parallel. If you use a second sub like the first one and wire both subs in parallel and then wire the two subs in series you can achieve 4 ohms. You could also wire the subs in series ( 8 ohms each ) and then wire them in parallel to achieve the overall 4 ohms.
First you have to get a new Deck then get and amplifier and subs and wire it all up if you want a heavy system you might want a capacitor and to replace the stock speakers
Ensure the amplifier is turned off. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's positive terminal and the negative (-) terminal of the 12V wire to the amplifier's negative terminal. Once connected securely, you can then power on the amplifier.
your going to do alot of work and the results are going to be meager the stock amp won't have the power to run the subs properly. you my burn out the subs. you should get an amp which can power those 2 12 inchers

Speaker wire.
Your amplifier has no 2 ohms output impedance. The output impedance will be smaller than 0.5 ohms. Put your subs in parallel. In audio we only use amplifier and loudpeaker bridging. Don't believe the myth of matching. Scroll down to related links and look at "Impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
