What are the specs on the subs? Paralell means + to + & - to - series is + of fisrt sub to - of second than take remaing wires & connect + to + & - to - of amp. Make sure the amp you get can handle the ohm load.

You need to find a sub that 1) fits in the box .. and 2) works well at that box volume. 0.67ft^3 is on the small side. Look for subs that are designed for small box performance.

This will involve looking at the T/S parameters .. or the volume recommendations by the manufacturer. All subs also have different efficiency and power handling specifications. You need to pick your subs for the box. Don't worry about PARALLEL wiring yet.

If I may make a recommendation, check out Image Dynamics IDQ line. 0.67ft^3 is just about perfect for that sub. I have my sub in a 0.60 box. It has a small mounting depth, was designed for sound quality in small boxes, and does not require a lot of power. A 500w MTX amplifier would be perfect for 2 of them.

Post exactly what amp you have access to, as that will determine which model you get.
