Featured Sub woofer to mono block amp wiring question.

[vlusardi]

Adding a sub woofer to an existing system. Sub is 8 inch, dual voice coil wired for 2 ohm. Question is about attaching the 4 speaker wires to the amp. Amp has 4 speaker terminals, 2 2 negative and 2 positive.
I know which 2 wires are positive and which 2 are negative coming from the sub, but how do I determine which negative wire goes to one of the 2 negative terminals on the amp? And same goes for the 2 positive terminal choices for the positive wire? Or does it even matter?
See the attached screen shot. Hope my question makes sense.

There’s a typo that looks like 22, meant to be just 2. Thanks for any clues.

Hope my question makes sense.

Being that it is a monoblock (1 channel amplifier), you treat the positives as 1 terminal and negatives as 1 terminal.

Use any negative terminal or positive terminal slot out of the amplifier outputs or speaker outputs. Only one positive and one negative should be coming from the subwoofer anyway. One at each end of the terminal. Positive and negative.
