It's in the manual, of course it's right! Try this out, it may be a better visual.

Yeah just use one set of speaker terminals and wire your sub accordingly so you can get either 1 ohm or a 4 ohm load. Check out subwoofer wiring diagram to help you if you dont know how to wire a sub to a certain ohm load, heres the link:

Select quantity of subwoofers and voice coil impedence and get started.

I could be wrong, but if I had to guess I would say that is probably just a typo.

That said; it doesn't really matter whether the subwoofer is wired in-phase or out of phase, as long as you wire it for the best sound. Ideally you would try it wired both in-phase (positive to positive, negative to negative) and out of phase (as the diagram shows) and see which sounds better anyways.

Manual looks like a type-o. As said above wire + to + and - to - and you should be ok.
