I have a Rockford Fosgate P3002 2-channel amplifier and 2 Rockford Fosgate P210S4 subwoofers. I think I have 3 options for hooking them up:
1) Bridge amp to mono, run subs in series.
2) Bridge amp to mono, run subs in parallel.
3) Hook up each sub to each channel.
Which way should I set it up?
P3002:
75 W x 2 @ 4 Ohms RMS
150 W x 2 @ 2 Ohms RMS
300 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS
P210S4 (2x)
Impedance 4-Ohm
Power Handling 200 RMS/400 Max

You have two safe options here. One is to bridge the amp mono and wire the subs in series to a 8 ohm load, the second option is to wire one sub to each channel. You have a less than ideal match of amp to subs in this case. Don't stress about it though, that amp will make a fine addition to power up the front speakers in the future. Replace the amp with a mono amp that makes maximum power into 2 ohms. Then rewire the subs in a parallel circuit and bump on down the road.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
