if you want to get a 4ohm load out of a dual 4ohm sub, just pick one of the wire attachments, and put one wire to the pos, one to the neg, then just remember which one was pos and neg, and hook the neg to the neg left channel output of the amp, the pos to the pos right channel of the amp, then, depending on the amp, set all the switches correctly for a bridge set up. if you want 2 ohm load, connect the two positives on the sub with one wire, and the 2negatives on the sub with one wire, then, choose one of the connection points, and wire as you would a 4 ohm ( i think it's called series wiring?). to get 8 ohms, you would attatch the positive from one connection point to the negative from the other connection point, then take the pos and neg from each side that AREN"T connected, and wire as you would a 4 ohm (parallel wiring, i think). sorry for the long reply, but i'm coked up, kinda drunk, and i feel like helping for once.
