[QUOTE="94uhkord, post: 286789, member: 545768"] Bro, you make this way too easy. I understand mono and stereo wiring, how that effects the amp and the ohm load it "sees" so there wasn't really any point to your post except to show how much you don't really know about it yourself. Check out [URL="http://www.carmedia1.com/en-us/dept_312.html"]THIS[/URL] link and you will see that I am correct in saying that wiring the sub at 8ohms then bridging the amp will not double the rms rating of the amp at 4ohms stereo, if anything, it'll be the same. THE ONLY WAY TO DOUBLE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN AMP(without physically modifying it) IS BY HALVING THE IMPEDANCE, NOT DOUBLING IT! DOUBLING IT WILL LOWER THE OUTPUT EVERYTIME, UNLESS IT'S A MONO AMP LIKE A JBL POWERVALVE SERIES. I'm sure there may be a few exceptions to that statement, but they are just that, the exceptions, not the rule.
