[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8379497, member: 634282"] Its a Mono amp and it should bridge internally.You may have to turn your gain down to about the 1 Oclock position set your HTZ around 60-120 for those subs(my opinion),and no bass boost/set to zero,no loud button on with the radio,or bass level up past 5,and dont use your bass boot knobb all the way up, just use it on occasions. All amps are going to get warm or hott running them..Thats to be expected,especially on an A/b amp that will generally run hotter in most cases other than a class D depending on how the gains are set.You can try one terminal for both subs@ the wiring diagram i sent.It shouldnt make a difference,.If the amp has gotten too hott and shut down on you , then you need to lower the gain and the settings on your hu,and the bass knobb(Use at a minimum).If you are worried that it gets too hot, raise that amp up and get a fan..Though Id still lower that gain just a bit [/QUOTE]
