That's it that's all.........hope you already have the electrical reinforcement those amps will need.....

If they are in a common chamber you will need to set the gains with a DMM to ensure they are as close as possible.....

^ He means that you are going to pull a buttload of current so you better have decent power cable and preferably better than stock battery/alternator/associated cabling.

Speaker leads, not much, it just reverses the phase of the output compared to the other channels.....as long as both subs are wired the same they will be fine.......

Power leads on the other hand....just don't do it......

Reversing the phase can't blow up your amp.....paralleling the coils to a load your amp can't handle on the other hand......

If you connected the + and - on each terminal block nothing should happen......that would just connect the 2 ends of each coil to itself and no current can flow thru anything......
