I have the Kenwood KAC-9103D amp for my Infinity Kappa Perfect 12DVQ sub.

I was reading on the 'Hand-On Research' that Crutchfield does and noticed that the amp has 4 speaker outputs for what they call 'easy parallel wiring.'

Now I know how to hook a sub up in parallel with an amp with only 1 pair of outputs and this has confused me.

So my question is how would you wire up the sub in parallel from this amp?
Which terminals would I use?
Would I still wire my sub in parallel also?

This is how I know to wire in parallel with the sub alone on an amp with only 1 pair of outputs.
Go from + on the amp to + on one voice coil then connect the two + terminals.
Go from - on the amp to - on the opposite voice coil then connect the two - terminals.

The terminals are connected in parallel inside the amp.  It does not matter which set you use, or if you use both.  My advice is to use one set of output connectors (either one) and then accomplish your parallel wiring at the speakers.
