i not understanding what you mean by bridging two amps like are you trying to strapp them ?? and why

What amps? What sub?

On most stereo amps the two channels on the same amp can be bridged into one.

Two different amplifiers cannot be "bridged". It is called "strapping" and works differently than bridging. Most amps cannot normally be strapped, but maxxsonics makes a device to allow most amps to be strapped.

I want to run 2 12's (dual 2ohm) of 2 rockford t5002 amps 1000watts each at 2 ohms. as far as i can tell they are not strapable. how should i go about hooking em up?

just do this with each sub...

using the "bridged" terminals on the amp...

yes you want the amp seeing 4ohms from the sub if the amp is a 2ch.

Yes, one amp per sub. Do not try to wire the amps together.

Buy amps that are strappable. Problem solved.
