What is the impedance of the voice coils of your woofer?   

According to the picture on Ampguts, the bridge terminals are the Left Positive and Right Negative terminals.

Unless your speaker is a dual 1 Ohm driver, Which I doubt it is, you will be fine connecting one coil to one channel and the other coil to the other channel.

They have different forums here, I thought they only had this one.  https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/last100.asp

And Gary and Craig when you find a really good 10" sub that works in a free air i.e. no sub box format please let Uncle Howie know. I've just been unearthing some nice Soundsteam and Nak old school stuff.

Yes KTM that was the last series of the line that was worth more than the aluminum of the heat sink.

And Howie if I stumble across such a beast, I will let you know.

It is just like the series VII.  Uses the same bridge wires and is capable of 2 Ohm stereo or 4 Ohm mono.  If you insist on bridging that amp on that speaker, you must wire the voice coils in series and bridge the amp into the 8 Ohm load. 

Option 2 (series) = 8 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono
