quick amp wiring question?
if i wire up a two channel amp that makes 3000 watts but i run it to two subs that each handle 1500 watts will it hurt my subs?
( i already have my wiring figured out up to this point )

I said this all wrong. Ok I have my subs wired parallel then series to make a 2ohm resistence but at this point you have 1 pos and 1 negative wire. The amp puts out 1500 per channel or 3000 bridged and what I meant was if I wire this uP bridged will it send 1500 watts to each sub or will it not evenly dispense the watts and kill one of my subs?

Your subs will most likely be fine.
Your amp on the other hand...will most likely fry if you try to run it into 2 ohms bridged.
Your amp will most undoubtedly NOT put out the kind of power you think it will...ever.
Wire each sub to present a single 4 ohm load (assuming they are dual 8 ohm coils) and then connect one sub to the left channel, and the other to the right. Edit- I just re read your other thread and see they are dual 2 ohm coil subs... so just wire each sub in series to get that 4 ohm total load per sub.
You're thinking about all of this way too much man. If you want any number of subs to get the "full" power that you think it should, then use ONE sub wired to 4 ohms from the amp- bridged.
Edit #2- Your subs are rated at 750 watts RMS. Your amp will put out (supposedly) 700 watts RMS @ 4 ohms, per channel. So just wire as I've said, one sub to each channel, each sub wired to 4 ohms. Your amp will push 700 watts to each sub that's rated to handle 750. You're golden.
