[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 507765, member: 555320"] I know because I owned one [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] It says right in the manual exactly what I just said. It has to do with the way they designed the amp. If you can, do a search on some of the car audio mags websites. One of them did a test review of the amp a few years ago and has a pretty good explaination of why it can't be bridged. A buddy of mine had one also, and an authorized shop installed his 34230 and bridged it. He didn't believe me when I told him that the amp can't be briged, and sure enough within a month one of the channels fried.

It has a dash (-) through the 2ohm & 4ohm bridged power ratings because the amp can't be ran at 2ohm and it can't be bridged. Yup, unless you want to test your luck, you're going to have to go thru an authorized dealer. [/QUOTE]
