Is it possible to bridge this sub: http://www.eclipse-web.com/sw7300/sw7324.html
to this amp??
http://cgi.ebay.com/Soundstream-XTA480-2-480-Watt-2-Channel-Amplifier-Amp_W0QQit emZ5793784903QQcategoryZ18796QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If so, which amp would be better for that sub:
that soundstream or an MTX 421D

The soundstream is 30watts over the recomemded watts for the sub... would that hurt the sub at all?

here's the deal. that sub is a dual 4ohm. that means when you wire it, you can either get a 2ohm or 8ohm load. most two channel amps, when bridged, are stable at 4 ohms, the same is true with this amp. you need to select a diff amp. i'd suggest a mono (one channel) amp that puts out 450W RMS x1 @ 2ohms.

and 30W over is just fine, you can go more than that, but try to match the amps power output to the sub. whatever you do, don't underpower the sub.

Well then the MTX 421D should be fine right? It is supposed to put out 420 RMS X 1 at 2 Ohms

i'm no expert, but from all the reviewing i've done i've heard it's always better to over power the sub a little other wise it will be bad for the amp. any quality woofer can handle more than recomended anyways.
