Connect the two + and then connect the two - and put them to the + and - on the output jack.

depends... if you want them in parallel, that's what you have to do. If you want them in series you have to daisy chain ( + to -)

It all depends on what VC configuration the subs are and what amp you have (what ohm load it's stable at)

Give us the model of the amp and the voice coil configuration and model of the subs and we can tell you for sure...

If they're dual 4ohm per sub (website doesn't specify) then wire then in series/parallel like this:

Make sure that those subs are dual 4ohm VC.... each sub should have 2 sets of terminals and there should be a sticker that says dual 4 ohm on each sub...
