[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1594807, member: 561023"] Yup. You could run a pair of those amps bridged, each amp driving its own sub if you like. It makes for a bit more complicated install running a pair of amps rather than one larger one doing the same job but certainly it can be done. As i do not know the specifics about that particular Sony amp here's the best I can do for you: Most amps require the following to be run in bridged mode ~ You will connect the positive (+) output on the left amp channel to the positive input on your sub. Then you connect the negative (-) output on the right amp channel to the negative input on your sub. Some (not all...not even most but some) amps will have a switch on the side that needs to be moved to the appropriate location if the amp is to be run in bridged mode but if you find no switch that is labeled with options something akin to: "Stereo / Mono / Low Impedence" (or something to that effect) then disregard that bit of extraneous information. Most likely your Sony will be like most amps out there nowadays that automatically detects stereo or bridged operation.
