FordBoy Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Im getting a alpine amp. It says on it that it is unbridgeable if i take it somewhere can they find a way to do it? Just wondering cause i dont think a 200w alpine amp can push my super pro 550W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 if it says unbridgeable, i would assume you probably shouldnt bridge it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordBoy Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i DONT KNOW IF THEY JUST PUT THAT ON IT TO PRVENT PEOPLE FROM BLOWING THEM IF TEHY ARE ON WARRENTY OF WHAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckethead Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I wouldn't bridge it either... they say its unbridgable for a reason..... I would try and find a different amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 it will void the warrantee and it is possible you will blow up the amp. It says that for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 200w peak? Yeah.. I think you're gonna want more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 If it has a common ground, then theoretically, it can be bridged. If it has a floating ground, then it is already internally bridged and cannot be bridged. A multimeter can test for a common ground. Just put it in ohms or continuity mode and put one probe on one speaker(-) and the other probe on the other speaker(-) terminal. If 0ohms or near it, they are a common ground. You can bridge it by inverting one channel with an audio inverter (not sure where to buy one, but I know you can build one) and connecting speaker(-) to amp's speaker(+) terminal of the inverted channel and speaker(+) to normal channel's speaker(+). Although, the fact that it says "unbrideable" on the amp would lead me to believe 1) it's already internally bridged, or 2) its power supply/output transistors couldn't handle the additional load of being bridged.
