[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4693406, member: 594758"] You probably bridged it at 2 ohms. Most stereo amps can only go down to 4 ohm in bridge mode. You have 3 choices. 1)Bridge = wire 2 speakers together in series (amp positive to sub 1 positive, sub 1 neg to sub 2 pos, then sub 2 to amp neg, this makes them an 8 ohm pair), then do the same with the other 2, then wire the 2 pairs in parallel to the amp (this makes them 4 ohm), then you should be able to mono bridge the amp with the 2 pairs of speakers. 2) wire 2 subs to each channel of the amp, for a 2 ohm load per side (this gives you a less than 125 watts per sub) 3)Buy the Hifonics or similar 1000 watt RMS @ 1 ohm mono amp.
