Could you give a model number or something on the amp? I can't seem to find any information on a "2 channel 1500 watt max merlin amp."

Wire the coils on EACH speaker in series.

see the pic here:

This will yield each sub at 8ohm.

Now put BOTH positives and negatives together from the speakers to the "bridge" on the amp.

On the Amp is usually its marked.

You need to follow the above picture. That is the only safe way to bridge that amplifier.

Why do you want to bridge the amp? You will gain no power unless you have (2) 8 ohm woofers.
