If I understand what you are saying.

The kenwood amp has 2 + and 2 -.

Your running your subs in a paralle, to get a 2ohm load.

The amp is a mono, but has 2 + and 2 -.

Both termanals are the same, basically pick a + and a -.

That is the same as my Kenwood KAC-9102D mono amp.

yeah so the two speaker connections are just to ease install maybe?
i could run 1 sub off one set and the other of the other set and if they are the same it should be parallel correct

You are making everything much more complacated. The amp puts out 2ohms. So just wire both your subs into a parallel ( like the pic shown above ) and wire it to the amp. Basically, just pick a + and - to wire it up.

Actually the termnals are like that so you don't have to mess with anything.

one sub's + goes to 1 + on the amp and that sub's - goes to the - on the amp, and same for the other sub, that will give you a 2 ohm load. Many mono amps are set that way so you don't have to physically connect the subs ternimals to each other.
