[QUOTE="SoSo09, post: 5391605, member: 571051"] With disregard to the amount of wattage that I will be putting to my subs, I have a question about wiring. I have a 2-channel amp, and two 4-ohm SVC subs. Currently, they are hooked up in stereo, giving them each 187 @ 4-ohm. I understand the basics of ohm loads and bridging, but I'm still a little confused on one part. I'm wondering if I can safely (or unsafely) hook up these subs to get a 2-ohm load with more wattage. My amp is rated at: 187x2 @ 4-ohm 375x2 @ 2-ohm 750x1 @ 4-ohm bridged From what I understand, I can't safely bridge the amp to these two subs because it is not 1-ohm stable, or even 2-ohm for that matter. However, is there a way to get the amp to see a 2-ohm load without bridging it? Any help is appreciated! :] [/QUOTE]
