Did you buy the amp brand new? If so, simply look in the instructions to figure out how to wire them up....most amps generally will use one positive from one side....and one negative from the other side for a single sub/mono hookup....it's really not that difficult....

The amp. was given to me by a friend so no instructions with it, but i thought you can only bridge 2 channel, how do you bridge 4 channels into one?

Did you try and go to their website and find documentation on how to install?

Well, you can bridge a four channel amp to TWO channels. Use the outer positive and outer negative terminals only for channels 1/2, and 3/4. You know have two channels...to drive the DVC sub...you'll need two terminal cups...wire each one up to a bridged channel
