Wiring help for the Thunderform

I want to get my subs installed and I have never done any stereo installation whatsoever. This is how I was told to wire the subs

"You bought two 8 ohms subs so you will want to wire them in parallel then bridge to the amp. Basically, connect the positive leads of each speaker to each other and connect the negatives to each other. Now from one sub, run some wire from the positive lead into the amp. The same for the negative wire on that same sub"

Is this legit? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's right. The amp should show you which 2 leads to use to bridge it.

I have the concept down but now after looking at how the enclosure comes prewired with a "+" and "-" for the right and a "+" and "-" for the left, I dont see how I can wire it the way described above. Unless I remove the wiring that came with the sub but remaking the connections on the inside of the enclosure would be a huge pain in the ****.

Picture me standing in the garage scratching my head because that is what I am doing.

Just take the two positive leads outside of the sub enclosure and tie them together and the same for the negatives and connect them to the corresponding terminals on the amp.
