| 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.
