Can this happen?

Can you hook up both negative and positive from both channels on amp to one sub because it has 2 sets of terminals or would that be the same as bridging it?

It wouldn't be the same as bridging the amp, but in most cases simply bridging it would be better.

oh ok.do you have any idea why?

thanks for the help though.

Exactly what amp and sub do you have? and is the sub D2 or D4?

crossfire 600 and two jl 10w3's.

It is not the same. The sub has two sets of terminals because there are two separate voice coils. If you wire one channel to each voice coil t en you are running each channel at the ohm rating of that voice coil. If you where to bridge the two voice coils in parallel then you would have 1/4 the resistance of the ohm rating of one voice coils to each channel on the amp(ex. dual 4 ohm voice coil bridged in parallel would give you 1 ohm per channel)
