why does it matter? if there are two they are internally wired in parallel

well one sub is going to be on each amp...so one sub to one amp..lets say i wanna run it at one ohm...and my sub is 2 ohms dvc...and there are 2 neg's and 2 pos's ...should i just wire it down to 1 ohm and just use one neg. and one pos.

or should i just wire each neg. to each neg. and each pos. to each pos. and then it will be internaly cut down to 1 ohm??

or should i just wire each neg. to each neg. and each pos. to each pos. (since there are 2 of each) (on the amp) and then it will be internaly cut down to 1 ohm??

yup... you can do that and use "jumpers" to wire the VCs in parallel.

OR wire each output on the amp to a voice coil on the sub.

either way, it will be the same outcome

the only reason they put two outputs on an amp is to make wiring easier when powering multiple subs with a single amp
