bridging is easy. see that four channel you got. you can bridge the channels 1 and 2. what you do is hook up the speaker to the positive of one channel and negative of the channel. the purpose of bridging is get more power.

what wires will i need to bridge my amp and connect my amp to my subs. its a RE12.1 amp, so 4 guage? do i just google 4 guage online and see what i get? and how many feet will i need?

well how are you going to bridge an amp that is not bridgeable? that amp is a mono block amp. you can't bridge those.

but if you have a four channel, just use regular speaker wire.

oops. my bad. the re12.1 is going to be used for my 2 RE SE's, i was asking the bridging question because i was thinking about using an orion-4004 for my CDT HD-62's that i just ordered. i cant get any info on the amp tho. what wiring would i use for a 4 channel amp, and what wiring for my 12.1?
