Last Amp Install. Help.

Hey, well I finally recieved my last amp. Kenwood KAC-9102D.
Now my questions are.

- On the front, there is 2 sets of RCA's holes. Two for Line In, and two for Line Out. I know to plug in my RCA wire that comes from my crossover unit, into the Line In jacks on the amp, but what is the other set of Line Out for ?

- The amp is rated at bridged mode, at 2ohms. (what I need, to run both my infinity 1250w, in a parallel). So how do I set the speaker wires to hook up on the amp, as bridged mode ?
The output speaker slots go as followed. ( ++ - - )

OR. Seeing as my subs are a 4ohm coil. Could I wire them each seperate, and run 2 outs from the amp. It says the amp is a 4ohm, unbridged.
Thanks.

I auctially found out what the Output RCAs are for, just to connect another amp to to recieve the same imput to both amps. So never mind that.

But edit: I also forgot to mention that I bought the amp, but it never came with that seperate dial/adjuster, to adjust the amp from the front of your car. Is this really needed ?

I looked up your manual. It says the 9102D is a mono amp, but it has 2 sets of speaker terminals.
I suspect the the 2 positives are the same and the 2 negatives are the same.
You could check that with a volt meter.
It gives you an easy way to put 2 speakers in paralell, which is what you want for a 2 ohm load. If your speakers are already wired in paralel, such as inside the box, then you have only one lead to hook up.

correct. the 2 +, and 2 - terminals are connected inside, so that you don't have to double up the wire on 1 terminal to run 2 subs... just for ease of wiring
