Got me, I thought they had it online, I used to have one about a year ago.

Would it be that the amp is bridgeable with another amp and not the speakers? My amp only had one speakers outs, I bridge the speakers down to a one ohm load into the amp.

Dunno.

Take your outputs and wire them as follows. From the left speaker output use the +
from right speaker output use the - . You have now bridged your amp.




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

Shouldn't it show you on the amp? Every amp that I've ever owned has something painted on there that points it out.. Hmm..

um its a mono amp. there is no bridging a mono amp. there is strapping of mono amps. the two speaker outputs are there to make hooking woofers up easier. So you dont have to stuff extra wires into one terminal.

the 2 positives and 2 negatives are already connected in the inside of the amp. there should not be an A/B difference. both positives are the same lead. both negatives are the same lead. it does not matter which two you use as long as its at least one + to your sub(s), and one - going back to the amp. or if you want to make it look pretty. run two wires from + on amp to sub(s) and 2 running back to amp.
