ok i have a rockford fosgate 1000a2 amp and im running 4 rockford fosgate DVC subs...the amp is only 2 ohm stable in stereo mode and 4 ohm stable in bridged mode....i can only figure out to wire the subs into 2 ohms so should i still run them bridged or no?

Sound is not a factor to be considered by the amp but by the speakers and the box. Do not confuse power output and control of the sub by the amp with better sound. Your amp is only stable to 2 ohms in stereo, while it may hold together in 2 ohms mono, it will only do this for a finite period of time before the magic smoke that makes it work is released. In other words, highly not recommended. The safe bet is to run the amp at 4 ohm per channel stereo of 8 ohm bridged. A better bet would be a second amp to drive the second pair of subs.
