wiring sub to a non bridgeable amp

[Jdizzle 10+ year member]

yeah i got this oldskool USamps today (not sure which) but the guy said it does atleast 600 watts...which is straight....so heres my question the amp isn't bridgable....could i wire one of my coils to one channel and the other to the other channel? i've heard of people doing this before but i've personally never done it so i figured i'd ask first

why not just wire both to 1ch youd get same power output....

the amp i think is 250x2 so if i wire each coil to its own channel each coil would get 250 watts...which equals 500....if i wire them to 1 channel i'll get 250 watts of power

Not when you figure that you are running the amp at half of the impedance... you get double the power and end up the same. What I did with my Alpine MRV-T320 back in the day was get an RCA Y to split the signal and make sure both the inputs got the exact same signal, and then ran each VC off of it's own channel. Worked fine for a year...
