Well if your amp isn't 2ohm stable when bridged, you're going to toast your amp.

ok what I meant was not bridged just channel one at 2 ohms for more output from the amp. to both subs will I get a lopsided effect?

Don't know why you would want to....with that amp, each sub would actually get less power by running both on a single channel @ 2ohm compared to running 1 per channel at 4ohm.

220w x 2 @ 4ohm

280w x 2 @ 2ohm

So, if you ran one per channel they'd each receive 220w. If you ran them both on a single channel, they'd each only receive 140w. Makes much more sense to run one per channel //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
