It's for ease of installation. For example, if you were running 2 subs, and using 2 sets of 8 gauge speaker wire. The second set of terminals would allow you to wire both subs directly to the amp, without having to use some type of barrier strip to split the wires.

some companies do this because it does make life easier in some circumstances...just adds flexibility to your system...

does it help in the wiring of the ohm load
right now i have 2"10 dual4ohm subs wired to 4 ohms becasue my amp ant handle a 1ohm load but can handle 2 ohms is it possible to wire each soeaker to its own output so it gets each gets a 2 ohm load
i dont think it would work but just makin sure
