I'm guessing he means they are DVC subs.

Are they DVC 2 ohm or DVC 4 ohm?

Specs on amp:

75 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms

150 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohms

250 Watts x 2 @ 1-Ohms

300 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohms Bridged

500 Watts x 1 @ 2-Ohms Bridged

Edit: Upon googling looks like AW1000Q's are DVC 4 ohm.

Wire them like so:

They would only have 4 terminals (2+ and 2-) if that was the case thou....

Ease of wiring. Same reason a mono amplifier has 2 "outputs".

It's just dumb if it's a QVC? They're not used much anymore but they had their benefits...

Ya unless you can wire them at any ohm load it sounds like it would just be more of PITA then just getting a DVC or SCV...

That I would understand since its hard to get so much wire in a terminal but have a QVC just cuz sounds completely pointless unless it could be wired at any ohm load...
