all amps ive had were (+)(-)(+)(-) so it was easy, but im confused with this setup.

I believe one set is there just to make it easier for the user. Instead of the user bridging the channels the amp does it internally. Otherwise RTFM.

Bridge it for more power!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

In all seriousness, the reason the monoblock has multiple + and - terminals is to offer you more wiring options. That way you can run two sets of wire to your amplifier versus having everything going through one set of wires.

yeah, but if i wanted to get all the power out of this, does it matter which positive and negative i use? would i get half power or full power like wd551 said?

You will get full power out of one positive and one negative.

It doesn't matter which one you connect to. Both +'s and -'s are connected to together. They do this so you can wire you're subs up at your amp instead of doing it at your sub.

It needs to be stickied that mono amps are internally bridged
