Rookie question, sorry
Okay, I'm alright with simple stereo stuff. But not so much when it gets technical. I've never even really figured out the ohms thing. But anyways, say I have a 2 channel amp that I want to run 2 subs off of. Which is better, running 1 sub on 1 channel, or bridging them both?

we need more info
what 2ch amp ?
what sub ?
is the sub 2 oms 4 oms
can the amp do 2oms
are you doing sq or spl (i like to do a 4oms for a sq set up but that is just me )
for the bigges spl i think you wou would run 1ch set up at 2 oms or less if the amp can do it

The question is a lot simpler than all that, really, the system is basic...the subs are older Clarions. 4ohm. Amp is a newer MTX, 2ohm stable. Sound quality is a non-issue, it's going into a bush beast. I want to know which will get me a bigger bump, going into each channel individually or bridging. And how should I bridge it, if I'm going to do it? Both + into channel 1 and both - into channel 2 (or whichever way it goes, I don't have any amps handy to look at right now) or one wire into channel 1 +, one wire into channel 2 -, and the opposite for the other sub? As you can probably tell, I don't usually get very technical.

series bridge or dual mono?
You can series(Positive to negative between the subs) the subs to get an 8 Ohm load, once bridged, the amplifier will react to a 4 ohm load, you're safe, note polarity on the amp (+/-).
Or, by building a dual chamber cabinet, you can connect each sub to each channel in 4 Ohm.
Rock on!

Put one sub per channel, have each sub in a seperate chamber. and go at it.
