I have only one sub, and want to plug it in a two channel amp. If I run just
one channel alone to the sub, it is not going to sound right, because each
side of the balancing has different sounds, right? What if I take the
positive of one channel, and the negative of the other? Is this bridging?
Thanks for your help.

I dont think so.

How about your combine the positives and the negatives and see what happens.

Ok, so what happens if I do what I said... just plug the + of one side and -
of the other? What would this do, would it just split the sound with the
same power? Thanks agian.

Your amp needs to be bridgeable to be able to bridge an amp. For a
subwoofer, the right and left channels are typically the same. If you need
to bridge your amp, make sure it's built so you can do that. Typically to
bridge an amp, you take the negative of one side and the positive of the
other. If your amp isn't made to do that, it's not bridging..

Sory, I was wrong. I forgot that the signal also goes through the negative
too lol.
