Amp Question!

[bigdog95325]

So I have this Phoenix Gold 400.4 Tantrum amp and a JL Audio 10W7 I'm trying to get hooked up just kind of makeshift till I redo my stero. My question is what is the correct wiring and settings to bridge the rear 2 channels to power the amp? My second question is, even with the 2 channels bridged will they provide enough power for a 10W7? Thanks in advance for the help!

200W @ 4-ohms bridged..? A new amp should definitly be in mind for that sub.

Oh it's in mind. But the cars getting sold soon and I'll be starting all over again. I'm just looking for a quick fix to have some sound till it sells. Will it hurt anything to run it like this? or just not be the best sound?

It will hurt it if you try and make up for the lack of power with turning the gains up and volume up and bass boost up and bass levels up... BUT if you set the gains correctly and don't bother with any of the others I mentioned and just EXPECT it to sound like a woofer with 200 watts on it then it will be fine... DON'T CLIP THE WOOFER!!! Don't expect to shake homes or cause earthquakes...
