Infinity amp to OEM subwoofer wiring question

I am looking to use my Infinity Kappa Five amp to drive my OEM Sony subwoofer. I am struggling to find the inputs to the OEM sub as it looks like it has two sets of + and - leads on the sub itself. I know I will need to be gentle on it, but I am just looking for a little more Bass out of my system. I have a MTX RE Q5 that I am using for my inputs to the amp. Thanks!

The subwoofer has two sets of +/- leads because it is a dual voice coil sub.

I'm not sure what impedance the factory subwoofer coils are. Use a DMM to measure the impedance of ONE set of the +/- leads.

Once you figure out if its a Dual 1ohm, Dual 2ohm or Dual 4ohm sub you need to look up the correct way to wire it for your amp.

depending on the sub you are going to need two jumper wires. you jump positive to positive and negetive to negative then run your wire out to the amp from one positive and one negative.
