I recently purchased a 12" JL Audio subwoofer, 12W3v3-2 to which I am wiring to a mono amp, LA-1000MD. How do I hook up the sub to the amp? I am confused because the amp has 2 negative and 2 positive inputs, do I just plug in or is there something specific I am supposed to do?

Thanks for your help!

First you should know you cant' blow a sub by wiring it too low because the impedance of the voice coil doesn't change, but you can blow your amp that way. you should know you cant bridge a monoblock/ single channel amp; not possible. since you have a single voice coil sub just hook up pos to pos and neg to neg (sub to amp). most likely if you blow the sub it is because of clipping
