the 500.1 is a mono amp, one channel can't bridge ...or do you have the 500.2?

what are you trying to do exactly?
are you trying to wire two subs to the amp?
Mike's right. can't bridge a single channel amp, but it can handle more than one sub.

Ok, that's not bridging. That's just parallel wiring. I figured that was what you meant. I'm used to seeing that mistake, so I catch it pretty quickly.
Yes the two sets of terminals are there to allow easy parallel wiring of two subs to the amplifier. Just because it's a mono amp doesn't mean it can only power one sub. 
If you have two 4 Ohm subs, that'll be a two Ohm load on the amplifier.
MMATS is a good company by the way. good subs and amps. Nice choice.
Bridging is when you have a two-channel amp and make it into a mono amp, or a four channel amp into two channels. this is done by enabling a button or switch which inverts one of the two channels to allow the amp's full power to be delivered to a single channel instead of two channels.
www.bcae1.com had lots of information explaining amplifier bridging, how to wire amplifiers and speakers, and so forth.
