Dealing with a planet audio vx3002.

What are the pros and cons of running this amp (or any 2 channel amp) bridged vs 2 channels?

There aren't really any pros or cons. When you bridge you basically are dividing your sub's impedance between the two channels, that's why you can wire to 2 ohms per channel individually but can only wire down to 4 ohms bridged.

As far as your amp is concerned, it can't tell the difference between a 2 ohm load to each side, or a 4 ohm load bridged. The important thing is to not wire an amp to a lower impedance than it can handle.

I have no experience with that particular amp, so I can't comment on how it will do specifically, but what I said above pretty much applies to any bridged amp.
