[QUOTE="Justin Thibert, post: 929578, member: 561360"] Here is what bridging an amp in simpliest terms is... you have a 4 channel amp that runs 50 watts rms per channel at 4 ohms each.... So that means you can run 4 speakers 50 watts or less because it has four channels right... Well what you can also do is run 2 speakers at 50 watts from 2 channels and combine the other two channels to create one other channel that can handle twice the wattage.... this is used mostly to power a single sub.... and with this amp it would push out about 100 watts at half the ohms... At half the ohms means if you are running a 4 ohm sub then make sure it can handle 2 ohms becuase that is what the amp will be running with the 2 bridged channels.... [/QUOTE]
