Well First Nice Picture at the bottom ha ha ha!!

Ok, bridging an amp is just using a multi channel amp to run a single channel getting more power out of it. For example you can get a 2 channel amp and turn it into a 1 channel by hooking up the + wire to the + of channel 1 and - to the - of channel 2. That will you will ge tan increase in power also. ou can also bridge a 4 channel amp into a 2 channel or 3 channel doing the same thing. Parellel and series are just 2 different ways to wire your subs. Wiht DVC subs in parellel you have the + going to each + on every voice coil, - going to every - on every voice coil. This is the only wireing option for SVC's. if you want to wire in series you just go + to one of the VC's on each sub - to the opposite, then connect the remaining - and + on each sub. It's just a way to play with the impedance on the sub. For more information on wiring subs in series or parellel check out
