[QUOTE="05reverb, post: 1563110, member: 566175"] that is not a good match of sub and amp. your sub can be used at 3 ohms & 12 ohms. your amp can't handle 3 ohms, so you'll have to wire your sub in series (at 12 ohms) and your amp will be running at 1/3 of its full power. you can take a chance and connect it in parralelle (at 3 ohms), but you would be risking [COLOR=Red][SIZE=10px]blowing fuses [/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=10px][/SIZE]on your amp or [COLOR=red][SIZE=10px]frying it[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=10px][/SIZE]. you should have gotten a mono amp (wich can be run at 2 ohms). anyways, you have 8 terminals, but it's actually just 4. audiobahn have been making there dvc subs with 2 terminals for each terminal to let you connect extra wires to the same terminal. you have 2 + & 2 - on each side. if you want series, connect 1 of the + on side 1 to the amp's +,then connect 1 of the - on side one to 1 of the + on side 2, then connect 1 of the - of side 2 to the amp's -. that will give you a 12 ohm load. if you want parrelelle, connect 1 of the + on side 1 to the amp's +, then connect the other + of side 1 to 1 of the + on side 2, then connect 1 of the - on side 1 to the amp's -, then connect the other - of side 1 to 1 of the - on side 2.
