I have 2 JL W0 10" subs that are 8ohms a piece and i have a kicker kc350.4. Now i have 2 channels taken up by components but the other 2 are free for subs so i was wondering would it be best to run them off the amp when its bridged to 175w 4 ohms or one on each channel at 2Ohm. My guess was running them bridged but just wanted to make sure. Now i know its not alot of wats but they are JL and old so i dont wanna put alot on them just want a little bass to come out lol. Let me know what you think

These ARE Single voice coil subs, right?

You are going to wire them to the bridged channels. That will give you a 4 ohm load.
Wire the subs like this:

If you were going to wire each sub to its own channel, each channel would see an 8 ohm load.
