Two 10's in series or parallel?

I have one of those recalled Polk subs that smoked (dual 10's), I'm about to mount an amp from a PSW 450. Should I wire the drivers in series or parallel?


Thanks,

    That all depends on what the Ohm's of the subs are and what the Amp from the PSW450 can handle. Without that information... none can say.

    do you have or can you get a DVM? DC resistance is close enough (and with a predictable amount of error) roughly figure out a speaker's impedance.
