Simple question

[skyline]

I have a 2 channel amp that puts out 2x60wrms @ 4 ohms. It is 2 ohm stable.

I want to bridge this amp and use it to run a single voice coil 10" sub that is rated at 200wrms @ 4 ohms.

Will this work??

Thanks guys!

might not give out the best results but will work fine enough

it depends on if your amp is bridgable or not and is it dual voice coil or single voice coil???? and how much power does your amp put out bridged???? a little mor einfo would be helpful

yes the amp is bridgable

how can an amp be dual voice coil or single voice coil?? i stated in my first post that the sub is single voice coil, if this is what you meant.

i assume that the amp will put out 120watt rms when bridged, because it puts out 60 watts per channel unbridged.

My main concern is that the correct ohm load is being fed to the sub (it needs 4 ohm).

I am a beginner and do not have a lot of knowledge on this topic so please bare with me.

since the sub is SV 4ohm, then when u bridge the amp u'll prob send ~120watts, if that's what it sends at 4 ohms.

what's the sub power rated at? which one too

sorry... i messed up on my post....i didnt see that the sub was a svc sub....and the subs 4ohm rating determines the rating that the amp see's....so if u had 2 4ohm subs wired in parallel the amp would see a 2 ohm load....so thats not as important as what ohm rating the amp is mono stable at.....also check the link at the bottom of my sig for some good info....peace
