Either works fine. Parallel might give more of an even draw on both caps though. Make sure to use the same ground point as your amps.

If quiters never win, and winners never quit, who the heck came up with the idea that you should quit while your ahead?

Really? I thought you'd want them in parallel. As I remember from basic electronics:

Series: C(total)=C1+C2

Parallel: 1/C(total)=1/C1+1/C2

Parallel: C(total)=C1+C2
