There is no "better". It all depends on your amp and your subs.If your asking for help, your gonna have to give more info.

The subs specs, and the amps specs.
At what ohms, you're amp puts out how minny watts... that kind of thing.

haha you wanted all the specs, there is now better when it comes with wiring your subs, it really depends on you application. if all you do is like to play burps you might wanna lower you ohms to the lowest allowable by your amp. however, if you do more than compete in comps, you might not wanna use your amp at a low impedence cuze it cut your amp's life.

I got it figured out...I had it Parallel/Parallel, and have now switched it to Series/Parallel, and it now hits extremely hard. Thanks for the help though, it's greatly appreciated.
