Thats 400 watts/channel peak, likely little more than 100 watts rms/channel. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-07-CHROME-199-1600-WATT-CAR-STEREO-POWER-AMPLIFIER_W0QQi temZ330136933930QQihZ014QQcategoryZ39739QQcmdZViewItem I also have 2 seemingly crappy linear ultra 300 watt rms SVC 12" woofers. I want to get the most power I can out of this amp into these subs. I don't want to seriously under-power them with just running 1 channel into each sub. The info I find online seems to indicate this amp is 2 ohm stable and also bridgeable. I am very hesitant, though. I am not familiar with bridging, or multi-channel amps in general... How would I wire the amp to bridge it to be 2 channels, getting the most power to each woofer? Diagrams would be helpful if possible. |

Thus bridiging the front channel. Then do the same thing for the other sub to the rear channel on the amp. That will give you the most power using both channels. and remaining in 4 ohm mode while bridged. |

Bronze Member Username: ShorterthanrichPost Number: 87 Registered: Apr-06 | Thank you Matt. I really appreciate the info. LF I assume you mean Left channel output and RF right channel blah blah. Julio. I know. I got this basically for free. This isn't for me. Its for someone who wants a little bass but has no $$. and I came across this stuff for free, so its worth it for us to try and make it work. |
