Bridging 1501D

[ssbogger 10+ year member]

Alright I just got in my used mtx 1501D. I've always had mono amps running my subs in the past so im not to familiar with bridging a 2 channel amp.

I'm putting this sub on two idmax 12" dual 2's. The subs are wired in a sealed box in series/parallel giving me a two ohm load. How do I go about connecting the single + and - on the box to the amp? Would I run the + from one channel to the box and the - from the other channel to the box or what?

Thanks for the help with the novice question!

alright well according to something i just read, it says the 1501d is not bridgable. What options does this leave me if it is true. remember that i only have on set of terminals coming out of the box.

THe MTX 1501D is not a two channel amplifier.

It has two sets of subwoofer output terminals to aid in hooking up multiple drivers. Those terminals are internally connected to the same output device(s) and act the same as the single set of terminals found on some other monoblock amps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

yeah or any other way you want, as long as it's in phase

That should work fine assuming that the four different coils on your two subs are wired properly inside the enclosure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
