How do i hook up my 4 channel amp with 2 subs?!?!

Ok i have a MTX 4244 (4 channel) amp
and 2 type S 12inch SVC subs

the amp is capable of bridging 4 channels into 2 channels @ 4ohms
at 120w X2

my question is.. how do i bridge them ?!

here's how the amp looks like:
for a better picture goto (http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/archive/NDM184.pdf)


Front
right(+ - ) left(- +)

right(+ - ) left(- +)
Rear


subs look like:

(+ -) (left sub)
(+ -) (right sub)



do i put the (+) terminal on one of the sub to the Front/Right (+) and (-) terminal on that sub to the Front/Left (-) ?

and then do i put the (+) terminal on the other sub to the Rear/Right (+) and (-) terminal on that sub to the Rear/Left (-) ?


Really need help !!

look at the amp, there should be a diagram that will tell you where to put the + and - terminals bridged. if not, check the owners manual, if you dont have it, check online fo rthe owners manual....

but you have ti right, each pair of channels will run a single subwoofer, bridged.

There is only 1 thing you have to be concerned about when bridging that amp for subs. The rear channel is no problem but the front channels on the amp dont have a low pass crossover, so unless your deck has a crossover built in then you wont be able to run subs properly by using the 4 channel amp.
