It should say how to in the manual for the amp

If not or no amp it should be fairly simple, connect the positive speaker wire to the positive terminal on channel A, 1, ect then connect the negative speaker wire to negative on channel B,2, ect and then wire to the respective terminals for the speaker and that should bridge the amp.

You may need to flip a switch somewhere on the amp or something special though that is why I suggest consulting the manual, it should walk you through the process if the amp is bridgeable.

bridgin an amp usually cuts out the SQ since it adds alittle bit more distortion instead of havin it wired on one channel but you will get more power it will be a mono channel when bridged which for bass and 1 sub is the way to go since bass waves are omni-directional(meaning travel every direction) so you should be okay, or put it on a single channel and see if ya like that

how i do single channel hookup just like if i was gonna hook 2 up and just hooked 1?

Youd probably be safe using one channel for that xplod //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Get another sub, and use the other channel

its probably setting related. possibly you have way too much power for bass and not enough for other speakers. or possibly the extra power is causing more pronounced distortion in the speakers.

im thinking its just a bad quality sub and it could be because of the box size

its a small box because of the location it has to be in... under my back seat im fixing to rebuild it to hold 2 10's and that will prolly help alot...
