bridging two amplifiers together.

[z28racer]

I have two precision power amplifiers, the PC2400 and I was wondering if it was possible to bridge these two together to make one bigger amplifier with double the wattage? I have been doing some searches around the web, but though they mention amplifiers are possible to join together, I can't find detailed instructions on how about to do it. Has anyone tried bridging two amplifiers together?

check ppi website or google to see if they can be bridged first.

Will run a search to try find out how to bridge though.

I have tried to do a search but could not find anything on it. Even on ppi's website they only have the newer made in korea amplifiers, they don't mention anything on the older made in USA good ones anymore.

They are bridgable but you can't combine two of them to one channel. There are a small number of amps that have that as an option.

x2...if your only going to power one big sub you could throw an amp on each VC if its dvc.

what is it exactly that makes an amp strapable?

It is going to be a mono amp 99.9% of the time and there must be a way to slave one amp to the other and invert the input (reverse the phase on a single channel) to one of the amps.
