Most likely it's a mono amp that has 2 channels for wiring ease, and the channels are internally bridged, thus making it a mono amp.

You can either

1) Wire each coil to it's own channel

or

2) Wire the sub in parallel (+ to + and - to -), then bridge the amp, connecting the + to the + on one channel, and the - to the - on the other channel.

You're only using one of the channels....you have to either use both or bridge them....
