Well since it is a mono amp, not a two channel as you thought, you can wire your two subs in parallel to present the amp with a 2 ohm load, into which I would guess it would prodice about 700-800 watts, just a guess though.

it is a 2 channel amp but its not bridgeable, does that mean its mono still?

i think its the 1100.1 but im not sure, i bought it from a friend. can you hook it up in paralell still if it is a 2 channel? sorry for all the questions, im kinda new at this.

If it is the 1100.1, it is listed on the Bostwick website as being a Class D mono amp. It is only one channel but most mono amps have the normal pair of RCA inputs that are summed internally by the amp and a lot of them have two speaker connectors to make wiring multiple subs in parallel easier. Hook one sub up to each speaker connector. If it's a mono amp which I'm almost positive that it is, then that will wire them in parallel. If it is a 2-channel amp then you will have one wired to each channel, which is the best you can do. The reason that amp is not bridgeable is that it only has one channel. Bridging requires two.
