I have the above amp and it is bridged to 2 jl woofers bridged. All i did was take the outside pos terminal and the inside negative terminal (on the right hand side).

can you be a bit more specific as to how to do that? like what wires do i connect to?

i'm a newbie sort of.

thanks!

we need to know the impedance of the voice coils on the subs to really help you out. are they svc or dvc? whatever u do, dont run that amp at 2 ohms unless u only want to run it for 5 minutes and never use it again.

good one mike! Knowing dvc or svc is good just as wiring options. As for bridging use a 10-16 guage wire and just hook those up to the amp like I said.

wire nowadays is color coded cooper colored is power and silver is ground. Silver to negative copper to positive.

Then depending on svc or dvc & ur preference you can do parallel or series wiring.

hope that helps!

owners manual explains how to bridge the amp - follow the manual and make sure you're at 4 ohms or more.

we are laughing so hard because this thread is from 2002 and 8 years later CRX decided he'd answer the question. lol
