series the coils on each woofer, and then paralell the two woofers, you will need only one terminal on the box

On EACH speaker:
Go from one (+) to one (-). That will leave you with one empty (+) and one empty (-).

Now, connect each (+) together and go to the box terminal (+). Do the same with the (-).

... and yes, this is the extent of my drawing skills.

yea, iam looking at that, looks good. but main concern is do i connect it to one terminal... so join the 2 +'s from each sub and the 2 - then connect it to a connector on the box. or do i use the 2 connector boxes on the box. Then how do i wire it to the amp if i use only one terminal box? stick one + in the left/right? - leftright? im confused.
