Ok this may sound really dumb but for example I have 2, DVC subs that I need to wire to the amp at 2 ohms. Now in the diagrams it shows the wires going from one sub to the other then to the amp. My dumb question is do you jusy simply put the 2 wire ends together in the terminal? Or am I missing something?  If that's confusing say for the positive wire it's going from the amp to the positive terminal. Then from the poisitive of the other sub going to the same terminal as the other one.

Are they 2 ohm DVC subs?
Yeah, just put them in the terminal together.

The wiring should be planned before the lengths are cut.  In your case you've described one wire whose origination is point A on the first sub, has a connecting point on the second sub which would be point B, and a final destination at the amp, point C.

A wire is allowed to be left long enough to reach from point A to its final termination point at point C.  Point B is a connection too, but the wire can just be stripped of insulation at that point and the bare wire bended.  If the terminal is a binding post, that section of bare wire can be twisted around it, or if the terminal is a spade, the section of wire can be fitted with a connector.

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