Hifonics 1008D or 1208D

[ascitiesburn69 10+ year member]

So i moved on from head unit questions to amp questions lol

anyways I plan to power a single Type R 12" with a hifonics 1008D or 1208D depending whats on ebay for a better price at the time. One questions i have is that would these be good for this setup? and/or please give me recommendations for amps by any good and cheap brands putting ~500-1000watts@2ohms. another question i have is on the hifonics amps and various others it has 2 sets of terminals for hooking up two subs, however since i only have one sub to hook to it would it change the power to the sub if i wired it a certain way? the setup on the hifonics is --++ on the terminals so should i do the outside neg and pos one first neg and first pos?

EDIT: i meant to ask with the last question is does it make any difference what set of pos and neg terminals i use to connect the single sub i have

If the terminals are arranged like that on the amp which of these variations would be the best to achieve the most power and not blow up my amp or sub

if its a mono amp it does not matter. its all one channel it just makes it easier two give you 2 - and 2 + but you have to have the woofers wired to the correct ohm load. look up here.
