Currently running them on separate channels. Wondering if it’s cool to bridge for more power. I know how 2 ohms is better. Just check out what I got and let me know.
As always thanks for the help guys
Certainly, you can bridge the amp to both subs. You’ll need to wire them in a series/parallel configuration so that you’ll end up with a 4-ohm load at the amp. Follow this diagram:

2 ohm loads are fine in stereo mode, but in bridged mode you don’t want to go lower than 4 ohms.
You probably won’t notice much different from the way you have it now, however. Either way, each sub gets 300 watts (assuming your subs’ voice coils are currently wired in parallel). Technically you’re better off running multiple subs from a mono output, so they’re both playing exactly the same signal; but in practice, I doubt it will make much difference.
