[QUOTE="Paradigmonds, post: 8308749, member: 661979"] In the Owner's Manual, they actually show the amp in a "bridged" configuration, with a wire going into the positive side of one output and the negative side of the other. Thats actually what confused me to begin with. Then the manual stating that the amp shouldn't see below a 1 Ohm bridged load. Well how can you bridge an amp that only has one output..........obviously you can't. So, thats where my question came from.

If the amp manual states that the two outputs are wired parallel inside the amp, then I shouldn't use both outputs if my sub is a Dual 2 Ohm and I've got it wired in parallel for a 1 Ohm load. A 1 Ohm load is what I'm going for, but if the outputs are wired in parallel inside the amp, wouldn't that 1 Ohm load look like a 0.5 Ohm load inside the amp? [/QUOTE]
