Help, easy question, you guys can answer it

As of now I have a directed 750d amp that gives

Rated Power @ 4 ohm: 275 x 1

Rated Power @ 2 ohm: 400 x 1

Rated Power @ 1 ohm: 600 x 1

and I have two directed studio subs that are dual 4 ohm voice coils that can handle 400 watts RMS/600 peak.

I am picking up a directed 1100d today that has a total of 1400 watts and gives

Rated Power @ 4 ohm: 425 x 1

Rated Power @ 2 ohm: 800 x 1

Rated Power @ 1 ohm: 1100 x 1

Would it even be worth bridging the amps? Or should I just use the 1100d and the subs will be close to full power?

Huh? Just wire the subs in parallel-parallel for a final 1ohm load and run them on the 1100d. That'd give 550w to each sub, which is probably a little more than they need considering RMS is only 400w. Just use your head when setting the gain, and set it conservatively if needed.

you cant 'bridge' the amps, and you cannot bridge the 1100d, its a mono amp.
