Hi everyone.
I have a 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch P2 able to handle 250w RMS, 500w max.
Powering that I have a Pioneer GM-X962 amp. This has a max power of 760w, but continuous power of 380w.
I'm wondering if it would be safe to bridge the amp to the sub? Right now it's not bridged so the sub is only getting 125w of power (I assume? Because I googled it and it says that it gives out 125w x2 when not bridged, sooo), which is half of it's RMS. I'm not exactly satisfied with what it's giving me and I would like more. (It sounds great inside the car but I'd like to have a little bump on the outside).
So, would it be safe to bridge a 250w max RMS/500w max sub with an amp that does 380w/760w? If so, how would I make sure that it doesn't blow?
...I really just want to make sure it's safe, I just got my car so I don't want it to catch on fire or something.
