[QUOTE="fresh, post: 3333806, member: 547942"] Bill, thank you soooo much... I think I understand but please be patient with me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] My amps 500W @4ohms is bridged right? ch1+ and ch2- Given the current situation, and without purchasing a new amp, you are recommending that I still bridge the amp ch1+ and ch2- Given that the subs are wired for a 2ohm single channel load, the amp will start to work as a 1 channel bridged @2ohms correct? This will equal more heat on the amp, right? What about the power? doesn't 2ohm bridged gives more power than 4ohm bridged? That is my initial understanding of all of this. And that is why @4ohm stereo, the amp gives less power than @2ohm stereo! Doesn't it work the same way for mono? Finally, would it be advisable to rewire the sub to take a 4ohm load? I am sure the subs can be rewired to give a total 4ohm load, leaving the amp to work properly at the recommended ohm rating. Again, thank you soooo much. MO [/QUOTE]
