Wire + to + - to - on the one sub then to the amp as well. To the left channel then do the same for the other sub to the right channel. You should really look into getting a bit more power to those subs.

nah. ok, here is what u do. if you have (2) 2-ohm dvc's. then you wire the first one so that it is 2-ohm and run it to one channel on the amp. then same with the second

Well have you looked at any other amps around the same price? Don't worry i had that same problem... you eventually lean to plan properlly before buying instead of just impluse buying.
