I had a diagram to show what i was thinking, but i couldn't upload, so I'll try to explain this as best as I can. I visualize 3 ways of doin it, and I don't know if any of them are right. the first two use separate wires for each terminal.
Setup 1 goes like this: wire from amp to (+) terminal 1 on Sub 1, than new wire connects that terminal to (+) terminal 2 on Sub 1, and than new wire connects that terminal to (+) terminal 1 on Sub 2, and so on, same with negatives.
Setup 2: Like setup 1, there are separate wires, but this one connects amp to (+) terminal on Sub 1 than new wire from that terminal to (+) terminal on Sub 2. Than a new wire directly connects the two remaining terminals but is not connected to the others.
Setup3: This setup uses one wire that splits into several (if it even exists). Therefore, all terminals are "directly" connected to amp.
So basically, I'm confused because these three scenarios popped into my head. Hopefully someone understood my explanation, but if no one did, I'll try my best to better explain.

What amp and sub combo you have decides what kind of wiring shud be done,
Depending on the total impedance of the sub system
the following link has diagrams which can help you wire your subs for optimum performance...
