Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3439 Registered: Oct-05 | all bridging the amp is putin out more power, and there really isnt anything to it. above the speaker terminals it should say "bridged" or somthin, and if it doesnt say that, ur amp cant be birdged. but on your sony amp it does 500 birgded @ 4 ohms, so just put the speaker wires into the "bridged" termainls on the amp and ur done -- and make sure the subs are wired to 4 ohms |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 916 Registered: Mar-06 | Simply put no. Bridging combines two channels to one. + from channel 1 - from channel 2. What you want to do is run 2 subs off channel 1. Combining both subs to 1 channel making either a 8 ohm load, bad for subs, or a 2 ohm load, bad for amp and subs. either way it will sukc. Get another amp to power the subs and let that one power the 2 rear speakers. BTW that amp bridged is 4 ohms only. |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 917 Registered: Mar-06 | Just waiting for a motor to come along, and the title so I can register it. Ya, while looking at the amp specs and typing you replied to at 10:44pm lol "And a 2 omh load on ur amp isnt bad... lol " In this case it would cause each sub would only see around 125 wrms. He wants to run 4 speakers 2 subs off 1 channel, 2 speakers off the other. so in this case it would not bump the subs with much juice. |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 922 Registered: Mar-06 | I checking craigslist for a nice used one. Just waiting for some one to list one. And theres nothing "cute" about car audio Except those sexy Sony amps. Seriously, its either 1 or the other. leave the subs on that amp, get another for the speakers, or put the speakers on that one and get a new, (good) amp for the subs. |

Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 923 Registered: Mar-06 | so you want an amp that does @ 800wrms 400 to each sub, give or take 100watts |
|
Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 924 Registered: Mar-06 | duel 2 or 4 voice coils? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3447 Registered: Oct-05 | considerin u are proly low on money, i suggest goin with an a8002t (dvc 4 ohm subs) or a8000t (if dvc 2 ohm subs). or V at the end |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 11607 Registered: Dec-03 | PS a bridged amp won't put out any more power than the amp will in stereo, since when bridged it's only stable to double the load as it is in stereo. 2 channels @ 2 ohms = 1 bridged channel @ 4 ohms for output |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2326 Registered: Dec-05 | ^^^^^you need to get rid of that amp... check PA a1000db or audiobahn a8000t or V.... get the cheapest one but i know the PA can run at 1 ohm stable. |
