I have this amp.
Is it possible to run 200 watts X 2 Channels at 4 ohm, 400 watts X 1 (bridged) at 1 ohm?
I have one 6.5" Components and 10" dual coil subwoofer?
Thanks.

You can run that setup, but it's not 1 ohm bridged stable... only 2-8 ohm bridged.
Since your sub is dual coil, you can also run one channel per coil (2 ohm stereo), or run it in series for a higher impedance (4 ohm bridged).

no reason to run it at 1 ohm. it will make more power actually at 4ohms.
