Default Amp and sub advice/install

Going cheap on this one. go fast is my game so try not to hate to bad on my lil combo. Got a soundstream 2f400 amp for 30.00 and a rockford p1 10" in a carpeted box for 50 so I fifured I would add a lil bass to ole red. Should I bridge the amp or just run it to one channel? will it sound decent?

THANKS

I would bridge it and set the gain on the amp low,but make sure the Ohms are not below what the amp can take or you will have a smoke show.

P1 should be a SVC 4 ohm. Just to be absolutely sure you can test it with a multimeter. But you should be good bridging it.

P1 can be a 8 or 4 ohm, both SVC. Won't be much bump, but dial it in and definitely bridge it. No point whatsoever in running the sub to one channel on a two channel amp.
