Don't worry about flamin', enjoy what you got. Look up the amp manufacturer on-line for wire diagrams. If not possible, try the negative from one amp output and the positive of the other amp output. This is assuming the sub has a dual voice coil for 2ohm application and the amp can comply with that.

yeah my subs dual voice coil

If the sub is a dual 2 you can wire to 1 or 4 ohms

If the sub is a dual 4 you can wire to 2 or 8 ohms

If the amp is a mono (single channel) amp and it has 2 places to connect speaker wire, just pick one positive for positive wire and one negative for negative wire,

the amp is bridged parallel internally so to speak

the extra + and - is just for ease of hooking up more than one subwoofer.

Did that help at all?
