Can i bridge two 500/1v1's to get the power to three atomic manhattans (single 4 ohm). I would need like 1000 watts at ~1.34 ohms. Supposedly, the 500/1 does +-500 watts from 1.5 to 4 ohms. Basically, is it possible to do this?

I would just sell my 500/1 and get the 1000/1 but here's my thinking. my 300/4 and 500/1 are mounted to the seat. i would mount the other 500/1 (with dampener, etc.,etc. i know) on the triple 12" box so when i'm moving in and out of school i can take out the 3 12s and put in my single 12" D3 on the 500/1 on the seat.



......does that make ANY sense to anyone??

long story short, can i bridge two 500/1v1s to get ~1000-1100 watts at 1.34 ohms to three subs.

I am not sure if you can strap (not bridge) JL amps. But I agree with Kevin, get a 1000/1 to run the 1.34ohms. Guessing you wired them up and that's the exact load on the DMM.
