Default Help wiring Subs to amp

I suck at audio stuff. I need your guys' help wiring up my subs to my amp.

Subs: 2 JL 12w6 V2's. DVC 4 ohms.
Amp: Hifonics Brutus BXi1210D

I'm going to be wiring the subs together as per this diagram to get a final load of 1 ohm



Now, on the amp, there's 4 subwoofer terminals. My question is, in the subwoofer diagram above, it shows that in the end you'll have 1 Positive and 1 Negative lead after you wire up the subs together for 1 ohm, so do I use only 2 terminals on the amp (like in the picture with 1 subwoofer below)? Or do I use all 4?

Here's the layout of the Amp

you should be able to do both ways. but i would just set it up like the fosgate diagram. so you can conceal as many wires as possible. you can run as big gauge as those ports can handle!!!!!!! like some 8 gauge power wire or somethin woot woot haha

wire it in mono aka bridging the speaker wires. ur going to wire up 1 positive and 1 negative only. the 4 terminals are for 2 subs. if ur wiring it in 1ohm then u just wire ur one positive to the positive for 1 channel and ur negative to the other channel like in the pic
