ok, also, I am kinda a noob to the audio world so I just want to double check I am not going to blow anything up. I have an ALPINE MRP-M500 Amp (500watts RMS 2 OHM and 300@4ohm) running to a Pioneer TSSW2501S4 10" Shallow Sub, 1200WATT Max and 300WATT RMS. Nothings going to break correct? Also, there are 4-wires coming out of the amp, a left and a right speaker, should I hook all 4 up to the sub?
Any suggestions for the gain, bass eq, lp filter settings would be appreciated. Basically, I just want to make sure nothing is going to go kaboom. I ran the power wire through the firewall to the battery, (6Guage with an 80amp fuse), going to gorund it now to a bolt hole, have to find a good one.
Any help without sarcasm would be appreciated.

I know some of this may sound kinda stupid, but I would rather sound stupid about audio on the internet, then blow the money and time I just spent in the flick of a switch.
