Here is a wiring wizard:  http://www.sounddomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl

Enter the number of subs and the voice coil configurations.  You want to end up with an impedance of 4 ohms or higher to bridge across a two channel amp.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

so i need to wire them in series to my bridged amp?

As far as i understand my speakers are 4ohm single voice and i have to end up with 4 ohms so i wire them in series?

That is amp+ to + then - to other speaker + then - back to amp-

I hope that is right please let me know as i am installing today.

thanks, (i know i might sound daft but it aint easy)

That is correct.  It will be an 8 ohm bridged load.  Your amp will most likely be capable of twice the power output with a 4 ohm bridged load, but with two SVC 4 ohm subs that is the only choice you have.  (Or you can connect a sub per channel if you like for the same output.)
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
