Sammy Delgado Unregistered guest | okay, my amp is stable at 4ohm mono(its a 2 channel amp) and i need the extra power from bridging an amp, but this website i was reading says when an amp is bridged, it sees the load half of what it really is(ex. 4ohm load looks like a 2ohm load to a bridged amp)is that right? btw i was looking at wiring my subs(2dvc) to make a 4ohm load, then bridge the amp, am i going to blow up my amp? |

Sammy Delgado Unregistered guest | okay i read up on it and figure out(I THINK) what will happen, to my bridged amp, won't that 4ohm load look like a 2ohm load, and my amp isn't capable of that, so wont i need to wire my subs to present a 8ohm load, so when my bridged amp(at 4ohm) sees it it's a 4ohm load??? but again thats another problem because i don't think theres a way to wire 2 dvc 4ohm subs at 8ohm |
