Quick question on subs/amp...

Scenario: Two Kicker Comp 10" subs (8ohm) in a bandpass enclosure, each sub handles 125W RMS, 300W MAX . The subs are wired together in parallel, producing a 4ohm load. I can bridge my amp (Profile California 800SX) to produce a 600Wx1 @ 4ohms, but would I run the risk of blowing both subs in the process?

Right now, I'm only using one channel of the amp @ 200W/channel configuration, and although it bumps okay, but I hate not using both channels. I know that the amp cannot handle a load less than 4ohms when bridged into one channel, so I'm wondering what you guys would advise me to do. I don't want to blow these subs because I just installed them this past weekend, and I don't have the extra $$$ to spend on a new pair right now because I'm putting $$$ away for a new head unit.

Can anyone help me out?

Considering Profiles reputation for truth in advertising I would go ahead and hook it up bridged into the 4 ohm load. If you hear distortion, turn down the gain.
