I have two 12" 4 ohm dvc kicker cvrs and just purchased the profile ap2000 amp to power them. The subs can handle 400w rms apeice. The profile is a two channel amp that puts out rms power of 320w x 2 @ 4 ohm, 480w x 2 @ 2 ohm, and 960w x 1 bridged @ 4 ohm. Now, I always hear people talking about bridging two channel amps to power (2) subs. Is there any distinctive advantage to wiring my subs to 4 ohms and powering them with the amp bridged as opposed to just having them each wired to 2 ohms and powering one sub with channel 1 and the other sub with channel 2? The latter would be much easier for me considering my subs are already in the box with the coils wired parallel making each sub 2 ohms, but hearing all the talk about bridging 2 channel amps instead of running the subs on separate channels drives me to seek a second opinion. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
