[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7365695, member: 576029"] lol. thanks. apparently i need an interpreter! i've learned that entry level Sony amps are quite cheap and the manuals poorly written. They have tricked me before when I assumed they had basic features common to most amplifiers. you have a 4 channel amplifier. you can bridge the rear channels to make it a 3-channel amp. i see nothing that says you can bridge both front and rear to make it a 2 channel amp. only two of the channels are designed to power subs due to the internal design limitations and LPF availability. the manual says nothing about the front channels being bridgeable, i don't know if they are. I recommend you get a different amp to run your subs, preferably a Class D mono amp that is made for subs. I do not recommend you drill a hole between dividers. have wire from each sub land on a speaker terminal for each side of the box. that way you can externally wire them as you see fit. If you do want to internally parallel the subs and have only one speaker wire terminal, you must make the hole as small as possible to fit the wire then seal the hole. if you use silicone or liquid nails, you cannot leave your subs installed for a few days as the fumes will eat away at the glues used in the sub. bad stuff. if you do internally parallel them, make the parallel connection at the speaker terminal - make sure all connections are solid and no internal shorting is possible - i.e. no bare copper strands are visible at any connection.
