I have a question,
I have 2 Power Acoustik LT1440-2 two-channel amps and 2 SPL CAL-12 subs. I want to Bridge them and hook them up to my Dual Head Unit, which only has two RCA outputs. I want to go one amp per sub to get the most wattage possible. But I'm not sure how. Could someone tell me how?

those subs are dual 4, they will not work bridged on those 2channel amps, ohm load is too low, they are going to cut on/off or burn the amps out. the only way you can run them bridged is to eun them 8ohm load not 2ohm.

What if I were to run just one amp that isnt bridged to both subs, but that only gives me 360w X 2 @ 4 ohms.
Will the subs work at 2 ohms?

those amps are rated for a 2ohm load stable at stereo mode(1 per channel) and that amp puts out 300@4 and 360@2ohms and prob at 14.4volts. i would bet to venture that it may not be enough power for them.
