[QUOTE="Steve in Seattl, post: 5659753, member: 607744"] Well, I just inheritied a free amp and 10" sub (in a box). The amp is a old Crunch USA V-200SE. I'm having some issues with figuring out the specs on this amp though. From what it says on the amp, it's a 2-channel amp with 100W RMS at 4ohms... and yes, its bridgable. The manual I found online ([URL="http://www.maxxsonics.net/manuals/crunch/pdfs/crDR_V150-600.pdf"]http://www.maxxsonics.net/manuals/crunch/pdfs/crDR_V150-600.pdf[/URL]) says: 100W x2 @ 4ohms 175W x2 @ 2ohms 350W x1 @ 4ohms 1) Is that 350W supposed to be at [B]2 ohms [/B]bridged? Shouldn't bridging the channels just DOUBLE the power at the same load? (100 to 350?!) 2) Is it possible that's a typo and the amp is stable to 2 ohms bridged? (I was under the impression bridging an amp isn't possible using the lowest ohm load each channel can handle). The sub that came with it is a 10" Audiomobile subwoofer with a single voice coil... I'm assuming it's a 4ohm sub. 3) Anyone think this sub would be stable with a bridged 2ohm load? (I'm considering a cheap DVC sub to make the most of this amp, but unsure if it can drive at 2 ohms bridged). It's been a long time since I messed with car audio and was hoping someone could help me out. [/QUOTE]
