    Featured Audison wiring question

    Hi all. I’ve researched this and can’t find the answer. When wiring up the sub do I run off channel 1 channel 2 or bridge them. I don’t want to fry amp but don’t want to use half the amp. That is how I wired up to test the amp. Running a 2 ohm sub on it. Thank you
