Question about bridging

[Monkton]

Okay, so bridging is when you take the positive and negative from two different channels to power one subwoofer right? Well can I take the remaining two wires to power another subwoofer and get the same effect on both? If it makes a difference, the subs are the exact same thing. Thanks in advance.

You take the positive from one channel and the negative from the other. You cant bridge an amp twice, nor should you use the same bridged channel to power more than one speaker. So unless your amp has 4 channels, it wouldn't work out so well.

 

You also need to make sure that your amp can be bridged first, and how low of impedance it can handle ( IE, a 4 ohm sub will essientially be a 2 ohm if the amp is bridged )

Please...Please check the manual for the amp. I have seem to many good amps die a quick death because of a stupid mistake.

Definitely check the manual before attempting to bridge it....and like Toro mentioned, one bridge for one sub.

I'm pretty sure my amplifier can be bridged, considering it tells me how to do it right on the amplfier itself. I was just wondering is all, thanks for the answers guys.

If you do bridge the subs, before you take any power to it, test the ohm load with a DMM to make sure you wired it right.

I'm not going to bridge, I think the dual 12''s hit harder than one bridged.
