Old Amp, but how much power am i really producing

I came across a rockford fosgate 400s two channel amp about three years ago, i just got two new 12" polk momo subs and i just bridged the amp, yet with two ohm load which i dont believe the amp is set up for, so how much power is really being put to the sub in rms watts ither it maxes at about 400 or is ir really putting about 800 total with half the resistance?

I have the warrentee on the amp and i plan on getting a new one any way but currently i am supprizingly impressed that the amp is doing quite ok, dosent shut off, and sq is fine, the temporary boxes i am using right now to break in the subs leak a little but other then that fine.

So how much power am i really putting out?

Thanks
