I recently built this little HT subwoofer set-up (pic below), and I bought a 240W Dayton plate amp from parts express to power it. Its 240W at 4ohms, and I wired two dual 2 subs (two of the ED cheapos) in series.
Here is the link to the amp on PE.com:

I don't know where to hook up the mono, single RCA from the HT receiver to the plate amp. The plate amp has a two channel input, and I think that I'm just supposed to plug the single RCA into the white plug and ignore the red, but I'm not sure. Help?
If I wanted to use the high level inputs, how would I do that?
Also, the amp has 4 posts to hook up subs. (2 pos's and 2 neg's). I have a single 4 ohm load. What do I do?
Although that I probably won't want to use all of the capability of this set-up in order to match the tower speakers, I am still curious as to how I should set the gain for max power.
Here are some pics.
Of the box. The hole is for the amp.
Of the amp controls. Notice that it has two distinct channels.
