I only have one channle for my woofer.. and to speakers, what would be the best way to wire them to my amp?.. should I just match both the +'s and -'s, or should I go from the + of the amp to + on the first speaker and the - from that speaker goto the + of the 2nd speaker, then the - from the 2nd back to the amps -.. whats the best way?

In order to tell you the best way to wire it, we need both the make and model of the woofer(s) and the amp.

you still havent given us enough info about the amp, we need to know about the sub channel, what it is stable at and what the out put is at certain impedance loads.

From what I found, the sub channel is 150 wRMS @ 4 ohms and 250 wRMS @ 2 ohms. When I looked up the subs, it looked to me like they are 1 ohm SVC woofers. Therefore, wire them in series. So take the positive from the amp and hook it up to one speaker. Take the negative from the amp and hook it up to the other speaker and then run a wire from the remaining open positive and negative. The picture below is how to wire it. But you will have different ohm values. You will have (2) 1 ohm SVC speakers = 2 ohms.

Looking at the spec of your amp it is capable of going to 2ohms. Therefore I would wire your subs in parallel and then bridged off of your amp. Take a wire from the positive terminal of your amp, connect to speaker number 1 positive terminal, then connect the positive terminal from speaker number 1 to the positive terminal to speaker number 2. same wiring scheme for the negative connections.
