you mean wire the + and - from both channels to the + and - on the sub?

if so that's a VERY bad idea, you'll actually be wiring the channels in parallel and any difference in their signal will effectively create a short circuit in the amp. Actually, with bridgeable amps, you'd create a short circuit even without a difference in the signal because of the way they're set up. Extremely bad idea, the only amps I'm away of that can do this are the new JBL/Crown amps, and that's only because they specifically designed them to be able to do that.
