yeah, it was cheap. the subs are probably decent but the amp isnt going to do them justice...

Let me describe it. The speaker wire right now goes to two slots on the subwoofer box as you can see. When i have 2 speaker wires on the amp, where do i plug the speaker wires into the box at?

thats not my amp, i have a thunder series mtx 502, thats my old amp

 

[pitbull12888]

its a 2 channel amp right?

 

[AgEnT 10+ year member]

Yea 2 channel amp, has 2 + and 2 - slots for speaker wires.

 

[pitbull12888]

so from the 1st sub put the - and + beside each other on the amp and the same for the other sub on the other channel... or are the 2 subs bridged together?

 

[AgEnT 10+ year member]

uh how do i know if the 2 subs are bridged? theres 1 speaker wire that goes to the subwoofer box, and the subwoofer box only has 2 slots for the subwoofers

pitbull, can u send me a picture of a bridged box with 2 channel amp, i think that would be easier so i know what to do. right now i only have 1 speaker wire going to the box. how do i get 2?

I think the problem is that it is overheating because it is bridged. Someone just give me a good guide to unbridge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
