Ok my brain is not working since its 1am right now

I have 2 SVC 4ohm speakers, I am going to wire them in parallel this will give me an impedence of 2 ohms right
now here where im having problems, I have Memphis 16-MC500D amp, it does 250X1 into 4 ohms, and 500X1 into 2ohms
the problem is where I connect the speakers I have 2 + and 2 - but no marking for connecting a parallel wire
if memory serves me right most amps usally have it set up the far left postive and the far right negitive is the mono/ bridge channel, but this one doesnt
Im lost... did I just end up buying the wrong amp?

Any help would be great

In peril

It doesn't matter the dual + and - are there for ease of connection but it's just a mono amp. Both + and - are connected to the same place inside the amp. You can either connect each speaker to a set of connectors or wire them in parrallel and then just use one of the sets.
