Help!

Ok, here's the stuff I got:

Sony Xplod 150W RMS @ 4ohms(stereo) OR 380W RMS @ 4ohms(mono)

2X JL Audio subs W3 10" @ 4ohms & 250W RMS

Yes, I do know that my amp isn't the greatest for the type of subs I got, but I didn't have much $$$ and really wanted to get some bass going.

Now, I was wondering if I could bridge both subs to the amp. Meaning put both of the "+" wires in the "+" terminal and both of the "-" in the "-" terminal without blowing anything up. Would the ohms be mismatched and eventually blow the amp?

If the 10w3s are dual 4 ohm, and you hook both the voice coils and speakers to the amp in paralell, your amp will see a 1 ohm load, more like .8 ohms. You should not do this unless your amp is stable at 1 ohm mono. Some of the sony es amps are. check the owners manal.
