Typically, you could use one of those dual wire banana plugs. Or you could use spades for one wire and banana for the other. Or you could jam two bare wires in. Or you could use bare wire for one and bananas for the other.
Basically you fit both wires onto the same terminal. The most elegant way is probably the dual wire banana plug. Or if you want a more flexible connection, you could use a mix of spades and bananas.
Some amps have an A and B setting. You could use that if you have it. The power wave doesn't so you'll have to make do.
Actually, the powerwave has a pair of RCA outputs. You should check to see if the RCA output is line level or speaker level and if it can be run concurrently with the regular output. If it's line level, gastro's got it made. Just run some RCA's from it to the line level input. If it's speaker level, you'll have to cut off one of the connectors of some cheapo rca cable and either run it bare wire or reterminate it to spades or bananas.
For darkcloud, now that I think about it, you could probably do your 4ohm tap method without a hitch. The subamp shouldn't actually draw much current.
