wiring help needed ???

I have a 400w 4 chanel amp / Pioneer 45x4 rec, / 2 mbquart seperates / 1 baxooka base tube. I will try and install but not sure of setup. I use to have a similar system in a differant auto and was professionally installed several years ago . The installer told me, as I remember, that he had used the amp for the quarts and the head unit to power the sub. Does this make sense and if so how do I do that.

If a better set up pleasse let me know. I'm not looking to blow windows out with the sub but do want the big base and clarity with the quarts.

I doubt that the HU would have enough power to push the sub. In your case what I would do is bridge 2 channels of the amp and send it to the sub; provided the sub can handel the load. Use the other 2 channels to run the Quarts.

how do you bridge?

the sub is a 300w bazooka tube the amp is 4 channel 400w

+ of one channel and the - of another. If your amp is 100w by 4, then you can bridge 2 channels to get a single 200w channel. Since you have a 4 channel, I suggest looking at the manual (or on line if you got it off someone) to see which channels. What kind of amp are we talkin'?

Does it say on the amp which channels can be bridged? Sometimes you will either see lines or aarows going from the + one channel to the - of another or you will see something like "+ of channel A to - of channel B" (or maybe 1 and 2 instead of A and B.)

By the specs, you can do what I said, it's just a matter of figuring out what channels can be bridged.
