Try this page Humbucker Wiring

Glad to see more GuitarNoise members using the "other GN," GuitarNutsâ„¢.
I'd suggest also looking over this page, http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/sw2.php , because it's more about pickups in series, rather than the coils of a humbucker. The Tone Monster is set up to put any/all combinations of the singlecoils of a Strat (any S-S-S guitar, actually) into Lead (series) or Rhythm (parallel) according to how you throw the switches.
I thought I'd also mention that two humbuckers, each with its coils in series, and then the HBs in series, might turn out to be not such a great idea. But you could try it, and if the option was switchable, you could always leave the switch in the parallel setting if you decided the Both/Series idea wasn't what you had in mind.
Have fun! 8)
I forgot about this one until tonight. Start at Deaf Eddie's home page, http://www.deaf-eddie.net/index.html . Then look for
The FREEBEE TIPS and TRICKS:
Here's the NEW AND IMPROVED page of
Deaf Eddie's custom wiring mods...
Clicking on the bottom line of that text (on his site) will take you to http://www.deaf-eddie.net/drawings/drawings.html . The third link down on that page will take you to a .DOC, "A brief discussion of connecting pickups in parallel and/or series." (View it with Micro$oft Word or whatever you use for .DOC files.)
Eddie (Emmett Brown, actually) writes some pretty interesting stuff, including his brief discussion of "Strat quack," entitled "What IS Quack, Anyway???" ( http://www.deaf-eddie.net/drawings/quack.doc )
I also find myself agreeing with his statement, "I'd rather have a couple of axes with just a few mods than ONE axe with EVERY mod!" 8)
I'd also like to have a couple of axes rather than one too! With or without mods. 8) 8)

With this rainy weather we've had, I should be catching up on some of my projects, but there's also job-related stuff and other diversions in the way. Gotta set aside more time to practice, too, since I noticed the tip of my left index finger was hurting last night after womping on the Hawk-12 for awhile.
