I have a DVC sub each VC is 4 ohms. I also have a mono class d amp but it
has two speaker terminals. Should I run two wires one to each voice coil or
just run wire and hook both up to on terminal? Thanks

It doesn't matter. there both the same terminals internally

I don't think that's true at all.

A DVC sub generally had 2 separate Voice Coils.
The + on one voice coil will not have continuity to the other +.

My suggestion would be to run two wires from the amps +
to the sub (one to each + on the sub) and run two wires from
the amps - to each of the subs two -. This is called Parallel.
Your amp should be able to handle the 2 ohm load created.

a larger, single wire(8 or 10ga) from the amp going to both coils can work
also and make for a cleaner looking install. I use single 8ga going to each
set of coils on my subs. ie, a single wire from the + on the amp going to
BOTH the + coils on the sub. and the same for the negative. same rules
apply, two 4ohm coils connected this way will make a 2ohm load.

Sorry, I was referring to the terminals on the amp, not the speakers.
