if you are talking a 2 channel amp bridged, then depends on the amp. ihave seen some amps burn up 2 ohm bridged that is supposed to be only 4 ohm stable, and then some get hot and cut off. when cooled down come back on. it depends on the amp

hey actually i was thinkig i used to have a autotek sx-2300 that was stable at 2 ohm bridged. maybe if you could find one like that it would work. i don't know how much power you need.

rockford fosgate power series 2-channel amplifiers are 2ohm ohm stable bridged...such as the t3002

well my mom already has an amp, mine is on the way and just wanted to see how it sounded. it says its only 4 ohm stable bridged but my sub is hooked up for 2 ohm. i just hooked it up and about 10 minutes of play the amp got real hot. so before i messed it up i just shut it off. so im pretty sure everything is alright.

I would just wire it correctly for what it is rated at before something goes wrong with the amp.

if the sub is a dvc then wire each 4ohm coil to it's own channel

I've run a Rockford P2002 bridged at 2 ohms for 2 years now. It gets hot and shuts off once in a blue moon, but its a trooper.

It all depends on the amp, and whether or not you like Russian Roulette.

I prefer Polish roulette ....... it's basically the same as Russian ruolette, only you use an automatic instead of a revolver //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
