Monkton Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 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.

ToroToro Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley456 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Please...Please check the manual for the amp. I have seem to many good amps die a quick death because of a stupid mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Definitely check the manual before attempting to bridge it....and like Toro mentioned, one bridge for one sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkton Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkton Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm not going to bridge, I think the dual 12''s hit harder than one bridged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
