It's not bridgeable because it's a mono amp. Wiring each sub to 1 ohm will bring the load down to .5. Wire each sub in series and then wire that to the amp and you will see 2 ohms.

Again, it doesn't have two channels. It has one channel but has 2 sets of terminals for ease of installation. If you look inside the amp, the "2 channels" are wired together in parallel. If you wire to 1 ohm per set of terminals, it gets wired internally in parallel which brings the load down to .5

this ^ they are bridged internal....and i dont think that amp os 1 ohm stable you will have to do a series/parrelal wireing and bring it to a 2 ohm load. you can use any positivist with any negative.

each individual woofer will have 4 ohms after you do series, then when you put each woofer on channel 1 and 2 your final load will be 2 ohm.
