Question about bridging

[Unregistered]

Say I get an amp with 250rmsX1 bridged, and i use that to power 2 subs, would both subs get 250watts each, or would it be split between the two?

If the amp is 250x1 at 4 ohms, and your sub wiring configuration is 4 ohms, then the power would be split between the 2 subs.

Then would i be better off wiring the amp in stereo?

you will probably get the same result, but personally i think having subs in mono sounds better than having them in stereo

Before we analyze this any further, what are your subs, how many voice coils do they have, what type of amp are you running, and is the amp stable at 2ohms bridged? My wild guess is that you have the RF Punch 250.2 - If this is the case it is designed to run 2 ohms bridged which would put 125 RMS to each speaker.

Alright i have a pair of MTX thunder 6k 10"s. Ive been amp shopping for a week or so, so I dont have an amp yet (the subs arent intalled either, thats next weekends project). The situation I posted was theoretical, i just pulled those numbers out of my ass.

If you didnt know the subs handle 4ohms, with an rms/max of 250/500. Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

i think if your still looking for an amp get a jbl bp-600.1 it would run those subs really good, it is 600watts rms into 2ohms so each sub would get about 300watts rms. you can find them on ebay for about 200 bucks

I agree, check out the rf bd500.1 it would be a good amp also for those subs.
