Need help Installing an AMP

Hey guys I am adding this amp and a sub to my bose system. On the site I bought the amp I found some detailed pics

(click this link and than click the link called "view larger and other pics" under the picture of the amp to see more detailed pics of the connections)

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_4096.html#

After lookin at pics of the connectors I realized I dont know how to instal the amp. It looks like you connect the "bat" connector to the positive terminal of the battery and the "Gnd" connector to a grounding point on the car. From there I would think you plug the remote gain **** into the "Remote" connector. This is a mono D class amp so I dont know why there appears to be 2 sets of "speaker output" connectors and I dont know which set to hook up to my sub, which is a 4 ohm DVC wired to 2 ohms. Should I connect the positive input on my sub to both of the positive "speaker outputs" on the amp or just one and likewise with the negative terminals. I want to use all 700 watts of power the sub has to offer.

First........ Remote has to be hooked up to the back of the headunit to the blue wire. The bass **** should have its own place to plug in. You should re-wire your sub. Wire one side to one VC, the other side to the other VC.

I know how you have it wired, change it.

What you should really do is consult the amps manual.

First read the amps manual and see what it says about those outputs. If you don't find anything just wire one of the voice coils to one of the outputs, and the other voice coil to the other. This way it will be seeing a 2 ohm load. I suppose you could just use one of the outputs and get the same effect, but it depends on how the output is wired inside the amp.
