Safe to bridge a 380w RMS amp to a 250 RMS sub, full power?

Hi everyone. I recently inquired whether or not it would be safe to bridge a certain amp to a sub. Now that I got the courage to actually do it, I have a few more questions.

I have a GM-X962 amp that puts out 380w power RMS and a max of 760w when bridged.

I have one sub and it's a 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch P2. It can handle 250w RMS and 500w max.

So, today I bridged the amp to the sub because I just wasn't getting enough power from the sub (amp was only putting out 125w.) Wow did it make a difference! I love the new sound! I have the volume turned up 2/3 of the way on my stereo and the bass setting turned down to 3 out of 5. I'm afraid to turn it up any further in fear that it's going to blow.

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is would I be okay to just give it hell or would I risk blowing the sub? If not I could adjust the gain settings on my amp to make sure it only gets 250w, but I really would like to give it max power. What do you think... too much power... or should I be fine?

Both are 4 ohms if it makes any difference and sub is in a ported box... Thanks
