i just got a power acoustik bamf2000/1d mono class d amp 1 ohm stable 1200*1 @ 1 ohm, 900*1 @ 2 ohm, 600*1 @ 4 ohms. I have a one pioneer 12'' 2ohm dvc sub. On the sub i wired it in parallel making it 1 ohm. how do i connect the sub to the mono class d amp if it has two sets of speaker terminal. Or should i wire sub in series making it 4 ohms and how would i connect to amp if it has two sets of speaker terminal. I just want to see what would be better 1 ohm or 4 ohm and how i would connect to amp since it is a mono class d amp but has two sets of speaker terminals.

the pioneer 12'' 2 ohm dvc sub rms is 350-400 watts. max 1400 watts

The amp is one channel... but there is 2 terminal pairs, (+/- & +/-), the amp's load is 1 ohm when wiring each voice coil separately to its own terminal. (Need 2 wires amp-sub)

right now i have it connected to only on terminal and have wired the sub in paralle at 1 ohm. Not sure it this set-up it ok just only wiring it to one terminal.

Anybody have other ideas on how to wire sub to amp. wire sub either 4 or 1 ohm

Use one set of terminals or both sets, it does not matter. The amp claims to be one-ohm stable so wire the VCs in parallel. Set your gain properly.
