[QUOTE="DiamondFanatic, post: 1398442, member: 562661"] No, you can't. It is not as simple as just installing another amp, hooking it up to the sub and saying there you go. I'm not sure if you also missed the part where he clearly stated that one of the amps was a 4 channel rated at 600 watts. The amps would have to be producing identical power output with no difference in time. That is why there is a cable that you get when strapping Kicker KX600.1's for example, to make sure that both amps are doing the same thing at the same time. Militayboy91- Have you ever bridged down a 4 channel amp to run a single 4 ohm load before? Enlighten me please... Here's some quick math for you- The 8000T will produce around 400 watts bridged into 4 ohms The Jensen will theoretically produce 300 watts with two channels bridged to 4 ohms That is 700 watts Simply bridging the 8000T to a 2 ohm load is 800 watts. You get more power and eliminate any risks by just doing things the normal way. There isn't even a point in trying to use those two amps on one sub. [/QUOTE]
