wire the sub up in parallel as I mentioned in the other post then wire the two wires from the sub into either of the two pairs of +ve and -ve inputs on the amp.

I think that sub already has bus-bars installed to wire the two voice coils in parallel, as standard
(You need remove them if you're planning on wiring in series or running a separate amp for each VC)
Soooo, All you need to do is connect one pair of wires (pos and neg) to one set of terminals, and robert's your fathers brother.

Right I'm a bit confused I'm going to wire the sub in parralel using the bus bar that came with the sub so there will be 1 set of wires 1+ and 1- and the thing that I don't understand is what terminals on the amp should I connect the speaker wires to

There should be 4 terminals yeah? 2x +ve and 2x -ve. Use any +ve and any -ve on the amp it doesn't matter.
