Hi, wonderin if anyone could help me with wiring my 1 CVS Kicker to my 2-channel memphis amp. Planned on bridging the connection to get the most power from the amp?

Well the continuous power handling, often wrongly labeled "RMS power", is what you want to pay attention to. The peak power doesn't mean all that much to you.
If you bridged the amp and wired the voice coils in series (amp + to coil 1 +, coil 1 - to coil coil 2 +, coil 2 - to amp -), you'd be good. It probably will be a little bit much power (couldn't find what the PB600 does when bridged or even if it could be bridged) so just go easy if you want the sub to last.
In case the amp can't be bridged, just wire a coil to each channel. If they have separate gains, set them before hooking the subs up and double check that the coils are see the same voltages. If the DMM (Digital Multi-Meter; if you don't have one, get one) reads slightly different, turn the volume way down and try to get them equal.
Help with setting your gain AKA input sensitivity in case you need it.
