So i have a amp that does 500 rms at 4 ohm bridged. What happens if i try to bridge it to my 2 ohm subs??

smokey time

You'll need to buy a can of magic blue smoke to refill your amp on occasion. The lower the ohms the faster the ICs and the transistors use the stuff.

This is a serious question. So im guessing the subs will start smoking?

i seen this also bridged at 4 ohms.... now what if you have 2 4ohm subs? do they each have there own bridged terminal orrr???? im a noobie..... would like to know for myself

you can either wire them 2 ohms each in stereo , or 4 ohms [both woofers] bridged.

im suprised none of my previous amps didnt fry

depends on the amp and woofers, your woofers may have shown 3 ohms instead of 2 bridged ,most woofers aren't an exact 1,2,4,ohms.like my mayhems are said to be dual 1's but measure at .7 each coil

um, lol, unless i missed the part where he said what amp it is, than i don't see how you can say what will happen...... i sure can't. i have some amps that will only handle a 4ohm bridge, and some amps that make tons more power going lower, so............... what amp is it? also, what is the voice coil ohms of your subs, and how many? single 2ohm per sub, dual 4ohm per sub(usually rated as a 2/8ohm sub), dual 2ohm per sub?
