[QUOTE="JLJunkieMX107, post: 8671935, member: 577425"] I pulled up your subs based on the BP1204 printed on the terminal, which leads me to assume you have the Dual brand 12's in a bandpass enclosure. To answer your question, the box is already wired to be run bridged since the 2 subwoofers only have 1 terminal on the enclosure. You could run wires to each sub and hook up one on each channel but that wouldn't make much difference. It would still be the same load as being bridged. Have you checked the voltage at the amp with heavy bass playing? It almost sounds like it's going into protect from low voltage. I would start with the ground wire. Instead of bolting it through that plate and into the body, I'd sand off some paint and bolt it directly to the body. I've seen amps that play fine at lower volumes but went into protect at higher volume levels....upgraded & relocated the ground wire and then everything worked fine. [/QUOTE]
