then u will have to run it at 4 ohms unless you have a good electrical system to keep the amp from becoming damaged at a lower than recommended impedance

Got to the12volt.com and click wiring configurations... thatll help you wire it up. just place one wire in post and the other in a negative.... i usually do the outer posts

i kno how to wire in series and parallel to achieve the correct ohms load but i was just going to wire this to 4 ohm for now but do i need to even use both speaker outs? Or are you saing use (-) off one side and (+) off the other?

it doesn't matter which pos and neg you use.

Just think of it as one output with two places to connect wires.

They are parallel connections, so keep that in mind if you use both sets.

Ok so i can use just one set and dont even worry about the other set? But i should use the outer set?

THanks

inner, outer, one of each...doesn't matter.

This is basically what you're looking at...
