for the MA amplifier its a 450 peak 2 channel subwoofer. 225P per chanel and 300 bridged. if you had 2 450 watt suboofers would they get more power if you put one on each channel or if you bridged both of them, would they both receive the 300 peake and 150 rms then?

You need to know the ohm ratings of the subs and the amp. for example if the amp is 2 ohm stable and the subs are 8 ohms each you can run the subs in parallel and bridge them at the amp. This way the amp would see 2 ohms and run at 300 watts according to your info. It all matters on the ohm ratings
