Amp Help....(wiring)

[Jax8287 10+ year member]

Ok here is the problem, I currently purchased two JL Audio 12" W3's at 2 Ohms each. I am eventually planning on buying the JL 500.1 once i can gather up the money. Well anyways before that I was told to buy this amp that is 400 watt amp at 2 channels or 1. This is a pretty good amp actually it has 400 watts rms so i figured that i can use it temp. for the 2 JL's. The only thing was is that i do not know how to convert this amp into a single channel amp. I lost the instructions and i cannot seem to find any information about this amp online. It is a (Total Moblie Audio Amp by the way) I was told that if i wire the two subs parallel into a mono amp i can get them at 4Ohms. So i guess my question would be is how can i convert this amp to a 400 watt x 1 bridged into 4 ohms.It says that it is cablable so i am just asking for any help that i can get. Thanks

1. this a 2 channel amp?

2. you are trying to get 1 channel?

what you are trying to do is "bridge" stereo to mono:

when you hook up the subs, sub- goes to channel1-, sub+ goes to channel2+
