Ok here is what I have going on. I have two 12" comp r kicker subs and I'm going to use a kicker cx600.1 mono amp.
The amp says its 2 ohm stable and I want to run the subs dual voice coils in series than the subs in parallel for a 2 ohm load.
My question is with there being 2 sets of terminals on the amp what do I wire the pos and neg off my subs too? Do I run it to the far left pos and far right neg?
Or do I do it to the far left pos and first neg?
This has me confused. The way I'm reading this amp will only put out one side of the signal wired up this way. which I don't think will be that big of a deal.
I want to be able to get the full 600 watts out of the amp and can only do it in 2 ohm. But I'm also reading on kickers site that this amp may run 600 in 4 ohm bridged mono.
Please help. My first system in about 15 years and I've about forgot it all.

If it is a mono amp with dual positive and negative outputs, generally they are the same on the inside of the amp. This is done to make the installation easier. basically use which ever outputs you want whether it is both sets or just 1 it will be the same. You can't bridge a single channel amp.

Cool this is what I was thinking. Just wanted to make sure. The two channel hookup was throwing me off. I knew the amp couldn't be bridged so I was confused.
