subwoofer wiring question?

ive got a power acoustik bamf 2000/1d which is a mono amp with two sets of speaker terminals, im gonna use that to run my 2 12inch hifonics brutus subwoofers, theyre dvc 4ohm subwoofers. My issue here is how to wire this up so that they are 1 ohm? im guessing i wire the subs to 1ohm, and have it run on the amp from one positive to the opposite negative, not sure though since this is the first time ive seen a mono amp like that

Update:

thats the amp i bought, first time ive bought a mono amp with two sets of speaker terminals, however if i wire the subs to 1ohm, theres only one set of wires come out of the box, so wouldnt i just bridge it

Update 2:

figured it out on my own, had to do it differently then how was posted up here

    Think of it as one terminal that has been split for two subs. there both the same.. Parallel each sub for 2 ohm. Connect one sub to each terminal. That will be 1 ohm…...........That amp will not bridge it’s one channel.. Just use one terminal on the amp. Don’t worry about the other one.
