Running Amp Bridged...

[yne721 10+ year member]

I plan on getting 2 4ohm AA Assassin 8'' and running them off an Orion 600 D.

someone had mentioned the amp puts out 400w at 2ohm bridged.

does bridged just mean i'm running two subs? or do you have to wire it a certain way?

you wire it different. You'll actually be running the subs on a single channel instead of 2 channels.

That is a mono amp

so it would just look like this? all out of the only channel?

but i don't have to buy like 'a bridge' or something? it's just a term for if you're running a multichannel amp?

This is a MONO amp

[/b]This is a MONO amp

like my Orion 600D right?

Yes, thats how you would wire it. Do you have the manual for the amp? There are certain terminals that you have to connect to, and possibly a switch that you have to flip. (thats how it is on my old kenwood amp).

The term "bridging" is used because you are actually connecting/bridging the two channels of the amp into 1 channel.

It is a MONO amp that is internally bridged. Run one sub to each set of terminals the amp will do the rest.

Yes, it is not a mutichannel, it is an internally bridged mono amp

thank you for putting up with my lack of knowledge

Those amps are internally bridged. Run each sub to its own set of terminals and the amp will break it down to 2ohms internally.

so lets say hypathetically(sp) i had a 200w x 2 multichannel amp, and i wanted to run a 400w rms sub off it, would it look like this?

edit: the text in the box that's the amp says 200w x 2 lol
