dumb amp and sub question

[cardinalsfan 10+ year member]

ok...ive been out of the game for a while but had some equipment sitting around so i thought i would install it. i have a 4ch eclipse ea4000 amp and a set of CDT component speakers and an elemental designs 12" sub. I was wanting to bridge ch. 3 and 4 to the sub and wire it in parallel to run it at 2 ohms. The problem is my sub isnt a dual 4 ohm, its dual 2. The only way for my sub to get enough power is to run the amp bridged otherwise i would just use one channel.

here are my thoughts...can i either

A. run ch 3 to one voice coil and ch 4 to the other (i can think of tons of problems with this but maybe it works)

B. just wire it in parallel anyways and run at 1 ohm but im not sure if my amp will take that

C. just wire up one voice coil on the 3/4 channels bridged (would that present any problems)

what would you guys do? im not gonna buy a new amp or a new sub either, im going to make what i have work. thanks!!
