[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 3767, member: 540940"] You can run an amp 2 ohms mono. Chances are though, that it will over heat within a couple minutes. What happens when you bridge an amp is that each channel sees 1/2 the load. So if you bridge and run at 4 ohms, the two bridged channels see 2 ohms each. If you bridge to 2 ohms each channel is only seeing one ohm. Not many amps are built for that kind of current. And I do believe there are a few recievers that have bridgeable channels, but they're only going to give you probably 30-40 watts rms so it's really not much of a gain, especially if you're wanting to power a sub.
