Sounds Like Crap!

So when I bought the car it had a 12" Pheonix gold and an Eclipse amp which was going into protection mode from the day I bought it. I went and got a new amp and subs the other day. Two 10" JLs and a 250w JL amp with a box and they wired the subs into the box for me. I got home and hooked them up they sounded bad, so I called them and they said that I was doing it wrong. I had to hook my + - wires up on either side of the box then hook the + and - of either side together. Then from there + and - to the amp. So I did this and it STILL sounds like crap, but they are both moving at the same time now. Could they have wired it wrong in the box? I had the same set up in my old car back in 2001 and they pounded, and I did hook everything up myself back then. Any idea what could be wrong, it seems I have tried everything. I checked my remote wire, ran new RCA cables and changed my + and - on the amp. It seems no matter where I set the amp it sounds like .

just wire one backwards, if it gets better leave it, no need to open the box.
if it doesnt get better, take it back
