[QUOTE="maxse, post: 2163785, member: 566615"] Okay guys I have a question for you. I had my system installed by an installer and my setup is as follows HU: Z1 Front : Rainbow SLC REAR: Rainbow SL Sub: Rainbow Hammer 12" Speaker amp :Arc Kar 400.4 Sub amp DA D3400.2 My fronts are suposed to be bridged and recieve 200 watts each and the rears are supposed to be running off the HU. Ok well I recently started getting some rediculous noise coming through my speakers (see my thread in wiring and installation) so I started testing by unplugging cables etc... What I realized is that my rear speakers are connected to the speaker terminals on my Arc amp, and so are the RCAs for the rear speakers. Now I have no clue about car audio that is why I had it installed professionally. I have no idea about this bridged stuff; but why are the rear speakers connected to the Arc amp if they are supposed to be running of the amplifier in the Head Unit? Does this mean that my setup is not in fact bridged? Or is it still possible to be bridged and have the rears run off the amp in the HU and still be connected to the arc amp?
