Hello,
I have a few simple questions. The first is that Im going to make a simple sub box for my two 10" Kicker cvr. I read that you need to separate the two subs in the box. like this.
the dotted lines is wood in the box.

Also I have a 1200watt Orion HCCA-D1200. But Im not sure how to hook up my two kicker cvrs. I think they are dual 4ohm 400watts.
Would I just wire them to the two speaker + and -?
or do I hook them up parallel/parallel to 1ohm? like in the sub wire diagram.

Where on the amp do I put the wired down + and -?
Since the amp said its not bridgeable.
Do I just put it on any side (left or right)?

The amp is a one channel amplifier.  If it has 2 positive and 2 negative terminals, you decide which one you want to use.  Both positives are connected together inside the amp.  Same for the negative terminals.

Or if you insist on using all 4 terminals of the amp, wire each woofer as follows and connect one woofer to one set of terminals and the other woofer to the other set.

Option 1 (parallel) = 2 ohm load
Voice coils wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

Oh I never got a answer to my first question. I totally forgot.
So when making a box for two 10" subs, do I need to put a wall inbetween the two?

Ok I read you dont NEED one just if one sub blows then there might be too much air in the box for it.
So looking around what is a good number of volume for 2 10" box?
I could only find for 1 10" box.

The make and model of the woofer has a lot to do with determining the box volume.

Ok I got the box all up.
Now I have a Alpine IVA-W205 double din. and in the back there are 3 sets of RED / white RCA ports (not including my 2 sets of AUX ports)
One set is marked "R" the other "L" and the other "SW"
Can I use anyone to hook up my amp?

They should be labeled F for Front   R for Rear and SW for your subwoofer amp.
