What do you mean? The JL 1000/1 is a mono amplifier. You can't bridge mono amps. Yes, you could run one for each sub.

Bridging an amp is when you combine 2 channels into 1 channel, 4 channels into 2 channels, etc. On a 2-channel amp, you would use the + from one channel and the - from the other channel to combine it into 1 channel which would also combine the power into 1 channel. Some amps also have a switch that has to be set on "bridged mode" to do this.

ook so you hook the one amp to the other amp, or do spice the wire when running it to the battery?

You're talking about something else..

Bridging does not mean hooking two amps together. That's called strapping and can only be done with certain amps.

Are you looking to power two 13w7s?

Then you simply use one amp for each sub...

If you're asking about power wires, then you need a distribution block to distribute the power. You'll probably need at least 1/0 GA to the block from your battery and a minimum of 4 GA from the block to each amp depending on the length of that wire. I'm not sure of the exact current demands of that amp.

Yep, and make sure you have a beefy alternator to handle that, that's a ton of power.
