Well I've talked to a few people about wiring my subs in parallel and they said it would increase their loudness a lot. Is this true? Also Dukk told me once to run one speaker wire from one side of the amp's positive to each positive on each sub. And the same thing with the negative side. Now I'm wondering what side do I use for the positive and what side for the negative. On my amp there are four terminals for wire but in parallel you only use the top two, correct? Thanks if you could help.

What kind of amp?? 99% of the amps out there use the left+ and the right- for mono operation.
Be sure to remain in the operating range of the amp as far as impedence is concerned.

And that's the bottom line, cuz:

Dukk I've got a RF Punch 360a2. So if I wired my 2 12" XLC's in parallel would it be a lot louder?

Um, yep. Pretty much all the power you want on a pair of XLCs.

So Dukk this is the max amount I'd want running these babies. You mean I wouldn't want to jump up to a Punch 500 or Punch Power 360. By the way would the punch500 or punch power360 be better it terms of wattage and loudness?

No power difference to the Power 360a2 over your Punch 360a2, just features.
The 500a2 is IMO too big for a pair of 4 ohm XLCs. You'll get a stout 900+ watts at 2 mono which will be really hard on the XLCs unless you're careful.
