How do I need to wire this??

Bronze Member Username: Error_505Amory, MS USA Post Number: 33 Registered: Mar-06 | How would I wire this to be at 250 watts @ 2 ohms? Or would bridged 500 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms be better? I know how to bridge it, but would like to go 2 ohm if it is better. Any suggestions would be helpful. BTW I did buy this amp and I do have these speakers, so this is not theoretical.
