Amp problem...plz help

Hi...I have 2 12" subs and an mtx amp. However, it seem that one of the channels is losing power. So i would like to know, what can i do? Is there some way to use both subs on 1 channel? What does it mean to bridge the amp and how do you do this? Thanx

if your amp is 2ohm stable you shouldn't have any problems

Different subs will have different output. That is why nobody mixes speakers that will play the same frequencies. Did I say nobody? I meant nobody with common sense.
