[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1094114, member: 561023"] If the amp hasn't thrown itself into protection by now then most likey you haven't hurt anything. I don't know any specifics on that Fosgate amp never having fooled with one personally so I don't know if it's 2 ohm stable bridged mono. My guess would be that it's not. Do you have one or two DVC 4 ohm subs? If a single sub then you would likely need to wire the coils in parallel if the amp is to be bridged. The unfortunate side affect to that is only giving the sub 150 watts. If you keep the amp in 2 channel stereo mode and drive each coil of the sub off of a separate amp channel then you not only have the royal pain in the arse of getting each amp channel set to mirror-image one another output wise (very difficult to do as I understand it) Still only giving the sub 150 watts [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] If you've got two DVC 4 Ohm subs then you can wire them together to show a nominal final load of 4 Ohms to the amp and run it bridged but again - you're only feeding each sub 150 watts. For that amp/sub combo you really need a DVC 2 Ohm if you're going to run a DVC driver at all to be able to get the most out of that amp. [/QUOTE]
