at present, i've got a 4 channel amp(37.5 wrms) and 2 12 inch subs each with a power handling of 100wrms(200 peak). Each sub is getting one channel which isn't really enough power. Just wondering if i bridge the amp to 2 channel mode i will be getting enough power to the subs... I looked on the interent site for the amp and it said: 150 W X 2 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS any one got any suggestions ??

yep, bridge both pairs of channels to power both subs (channels 1&2 for one sub, channels 3&4 for the other one).

Yep definantly bridge it so its 2x150. Your amp might have onboard crossover?? if it does its most likely only 2 of the 4 channels with be LowPass (means only 1 woofer can be crossed over) so you might need an external crossover for the other sub....depends
