rockford fosgate is know for outstanding power amplifiers, but if the amp says 4 ohms you might want to only use a 4 ohms. you could contact rockford fosgate about that they could tell you yea or nea.

I wouldnt give it les than a 4 ohm load , thats 2 ohms with the amp briged , At a 2 ohm load thats 1 ohm brigded not good !

i used to have that amp and i had it bridges all the way down. It heats up and shuts off once in a while. Like a really hot day and after playing it for a while. But it sounds great.

I would not bridge a Rockford amp under 4 ohms. They are notorious for heating up real badly. If you want to keep that amp in good working condition I would not push it that hard....

Just my opinion.

I have had my Punch 200ix bridged at 1.33 ohms for my 3 12's for almost four years and have never had a problem.

He doesnt have a 200ix , That amp wil handle 1 ohm the newer ones dont like it at all !
