That amp is stable to 2ohms stereo not 2ohm bridged. You can try it but it will likely get hot and shut down. If it does try wiring the coils in series. It will get less power but it will save the amp.

no it's not that's why I was asking .........if it's dual 4 ohm you'll have to wire the coils in series and run 8 ohm bridged .......

1 DVC driver with Voice Coils in Parallel
Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) will result in the following impedances:

Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 2 Ohms

This is how I have it wired right from the JL site
