Noob needs help connecting subs to an amp

Noobie Unregistered guest	Posted on Monday, September 26, 2005 - 05:13 GMT Hey all. I have a Phoenix Gold Octane 8.0:1 800W amplifier (800 watts x 1 @ 2-ohm). I also have two 12' Infinity Reference 1230W subs, rated 300W RMS @ 4ohm. How do I connect them to the amp? Amp has 4 terminals for speakers: + - + - I spliced both + wires from each speaker to one wire and connected it to the left + on the amp, and did the same with -, and connected it to the - on the right. Is that the right connection? How namy watts will I receve on each sub, 400W? Or should I wire each sub to it's own terminal (use all four of them?) Thanks in advance.
