Ohms with bridged config.???

[anger 10+ year member]

So I just got a new amp...here are the specs:

001399: MEMPHIS 16-SRX 1.500$1,399.00 TT

One question I have is, if this is a mono block amp, why are there stereo inputs and outputs for 2 channels?

Also, after reading some FAQs on crutchfield's website, I'm wondering if I can safely run a 2 ohm load in a bridged configuration with this amp. It states that it's stable at 2 ohms with 500 watts, but not sure if that means I should wire 2 subs to one channel and the other 2 subs to the other channel..which would be running at 4ohms (I'm running 4 svc 8ohm subs)

Let me know if anymore info is needed for you to help. Thanks!

If it's a mono amp then it has only one channel, you cannot bridge it. They will usually provide two sets of terminals just as a convenience, they are connected internally.

Wiring configuration for SVC8 ohm subs x 4.Bookmark this site for general information as needed.I cant imagine paying that much for 500 watts@2ohms.lol..Hopefully you did not pay that,maybe $100 bucks on my end up to $150.As stated,Mono is Mono on your amp/one ch bridged internally,as double post are as stated ..for ease.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i payed $300 for it (I think the link I provided was for bulk pricing). so having stereo inputs doesn't mean it's got 2 channels? In the manual it has a diagram for a bridged configuration, but states that it is a monoblock. how is this possible?

You can't bridge it. The two terminals are parallel connected to one mono amplifier inside. If you parallel two of your 8ohm subs per terminal, then each terminal will see 4 ohms. Since they're parallel connected inside as well, thats 4 and 4 ohms = 2 ohm final load = perfect match. Each sub will see 125w. I'm guessing you have Punch HE woofers? You should have gotten a 1000w RMS monoblock instead.

Ancorp is exactly right take that back and find a 1k that's rated 1000 @2 ohms

Sh*t...they got a no return policy if already installed. I assume that'll be a bit pricier. Thanks for the advice.

anybody want a memphis srx 1.500?

Ordered a Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP...should do the job, right? The specs look pretty similar to the BD1000 I originally was running.
