and the box is some old custom box that i got years ago, when i first got my mustang, so i dont know the specs, not worried about it either. and as for outputs im not using them hence i'm using a inline converter

by wired we mean are they single or dual voice coil, the impedence of the coils and are they in stereo/mono and wired in series or parallel.

regardless of that though the tuning for a system is the same as long as the equipment is properly matched

i really dont know how to explain the way i have'em wired, i dont think its parallel though, parallel would mean that both subs are wired together in the box?
and yes this i like this set-up much more than my one 12 inch set-up, if i can get it tuned-right i think i'll love it.
