if the amp is 2 channels, run one sub on each channel.
if this is a mono amp, wire the subs in parallel to the amp to get a 2-ohm load if they are 4-ohm drivers.

Just wondering would it be better to series the subs then bridge them onto the amp.

if it's a mono amp (1 channel) and the subs are SVC 4-ohm drivers, wiring them in parallel will result in a 2-ohm load which will give the gentleman maximum rated power output for the amplifier. This would be the ideal way to do this.
I don't know if his drivers are SVC or DVC however, what the impedence is (per voice coil), or how many channels his amplifier is, so I was giving best case scenarios.

too many variables to suggest anything. are the subs in a common or seperate chamber enclosure? impedance of subs? mono/stereo/multichannel amp? a lil more info would help. If the box is chambered... you can run stereo or mono. If its common....id suggest mono (bridged). if the subs are 8 ohm.. just parallel and bridge....if the subs are 4 ohm.... series then bridge....the same if 2 ohm subs. If the subs are dvc...series the coils then parallel the subs bridged. good luck
