Two DC motors in series

Does anyone know the proper way to run two dc motors in series with one speed controller? I have the banebot 20:1 28mm motors and want to run them with banebots 45 amp controller. It should be able to handle the amps but when I run it, one motor runs very slow and sometimes not at all.

Should I have them in parallel?
