How should I run my subs?

[brewski 10+ year member]

I have a Rockford 200 watt 4 channel amp and 2 MTX 200 watt RMS 10 inch subs. I am going to run the amp 3 channels, 2 channels to my door speakers and 2 channels bridged to my subs. My question is, should I run just one of the subs or both subs in series?

We need to know 2 things: the impedance of your subs (in ohms), and what impedance your amp is stable down to when bridged mono (Im guessing its 4ohms mono). If you tell us these 2 things, we can tell you the best way to wire the subs.

The subs are 4ohms and the amp's manual says that the rear bridged channel should be no less than 4 ohms.
