hey there i have a Blaupunkt Amplifier PA 2100 and 2 10"subs. that are svc 4 ohm when ever i try to bridge the amp to 2 ohms(both + of the subs to the + of the amp and both - of the subs to the - of the amp) and the amp will power them but it does not sound like 407rms (as per the brithsheet) and if i turn the volume up then the amp will turn in to protection amd stay there untill i turn the volume down also the amp will get hot.

the way that i have it wired now is bridged to just one sub so the amp sees a 4 ohm load and it is sounding like the 352rms (as per the birthshreet) what i would like to know is if there is a way too use 2 svc subs that are 4 ohm and the one amp i have power both and the amp sees 4 ohm load bridged.

Are you sure your amp is capable of handling a 2 ohm load bridged? And you cant get a 4 ohm load out of 2 svc 4 ohm subs...

Minimum speaker impedance:

2 ohms (Non-bridged)

4 ohms (Bridged)

There's your problem....
