ther are 2-'s and 2+'s' and i have two subs. does each terminal get a speaker or do i wire them for one ohm inside the box.

What ohm are you trying to run...DVC speakers? What Ohm are the speakers? What type of amp?

Give us more info!

type r's dual 4's i have a kenwood for until i instal my brutus im trying for 1 ohm kenwood 8151d

and on the link of th picture i drew, is there a a diffrence in those or is that the same thing

well you should look at the manual, but i would assume that if it is a mono amp then there is only one channel. the extra speaker inputs just simplify the wiring. so either one should work.

if i connect the two speakers to the two terminals would that give me 1ohm

with dvc 4's you can only wire to 2 or 8 ohms i believe for each sub, and then wire both to the amp and the amp will see a total of a 1ohm load. so yes.

You wire each sub's individual coils in parallel, so that each sub will be a 2ohm load. So, each sub will be wired like this:

Then you connect one subwoofer to each output.

The amplifier's outputs are paralleled together internally, so a 2ohm load on each output (like you will have) is a final 1ohm on the amplifier.
