3kwatt DVC sub, 2 amps bridge to each ??

[generalGOTCHA 10+ year member]

My question to anyone is, If you for say have a 6000watt RMS subwoofer DVC , and say two amplifiers , different brands both total 3000watts RMS can you bridge the 1000watt sub to one voice coil, the 2000watt amp to the other voice coil, and will you achieve a nomial power of 3000watts ?

Or if that is not possible.

Say your equalizer rca output is Y-split to two of the same model amplifiers. So now your bridgeing DVC input A , to a 1000watt amp ((example)) and DVC B to the second, same exact model of 1000watt amp . with both having 1000watts , would nomial power now be 2000watts ??

im tired, and geekd out all night installing a friends montero ! So forgive me.

i have no idea what your first statement says...

but yes, you can wire one amp to each coil of a multi-VC sub. Just make sure they are set to the same voltage out. try to get the input signals as close as possible.

you can go one step further and "strap" two amps per coil. but its a bit trickier.
