the only thing that doesn't make since on the diagram is the two wires that connect the pos. on the subs, which lead to the amp as one wire. (also with the neg.)
how is that possible?

You do know all the Brutus amps are 1 ohm stable.

1 ohm stable means it can be wired down to a 1 ohm load. it can also be wired at 2 and 4 ohm loads though.
1ohm - 1200rms
2ohm - 900rms
4ohm - 450rms

to wire it, you need to run the positive from each sub to the positive on its own terminal cup. do the same with the negative.

then from the terminal cups, put each positive to the positive terminal on amp and do the same with the negative.
