i have read the wiring info on hte site and have a quesrtion as i am confused a little. i have 2 4 ohm dvc subs and the way the pic on the site shows makes sense hooking the speakers together and stuff to produce a 4 ohm load. but it goes to one positive and 1 negative and the subs box has two positives and 2 negatives for each speaker. so what do i do?

You connect the others together. The electricity runs through one VC then the other then back to the amp (series connection.) Like this:

but the 2 speakers and the dual voice coils in that pic don't show me where the wires go from each sub to the 2 positive and negatives on hte left and right hand side of the box. i see how the dvc's are wired together but what about the two terminals on the left and right hand side of the box? lol maybe i just needa diff pic or something.

Connect each woofer as show below to each set of box terminals, then connect each set of box terminals in parallel.

if i connect a pair from the positive and negative left and right box terminals and then run another pair from the positive and negative of one side to the amp that would accomplishe the same with less wire would it not? it would be brisging it at the box and not hte amp?

If your asking if wiring the terminals in parallel is the same than yes.
