You need more detailed specs. You need a spec sheet with the Vas on it... That will tell you how much airspace those subs need...

And your wiring question depends on your amp and what it can handle...

well right off the bat wiring 2 6 ohm woofers is going to make a weird resistance if your amp can go to 1ohm bridged your would parallel the coils then the woofers together bringing you to 1.5 ohms or if your amp wants 4ohms bridged you could series the coils making them both be 12 ohm and the parallel them together bringing them down to 6 but ideally you should get the third woofer so wether you paralled the whole circuit it would be 1ohm or seriess paralled would be 4ohm and yeah those specs dont say vas or any cu ft recomendations
