an easy beginer question
All I was wondering was how to bridge an amp, and what does this do? I have a 360 w 2 channel Boss amp and 2 10" MTX subs. (Channels are how many pairs of speaker outputs right?) Is it possible to bridge this amp? Any help would be great. :ylsuper

Bridging is when you combine channels. So if you have a 4 channel amp, you can bridge two of them to the others and change it to a 2 channel. Now from experience, this will give you significant boost. But over the long wrong, would be not quite useful. I know people who do this are in competitions where this would be very useful. I personally have had a few systems in my cars and have done this in two of them. But like I said, in the end, I ended up changing this set up and kept them as is. I could see you bridging now also if you had a multiple amp setup. But then again, it comes down to what you do in the end.

Not all amps are bridgable. If yours is though you should also know that hooking up you speakers in parallel will give you a power boost by decreasing the impedance. ex: Two 4 ohm speakers hooked up in parallell will look like one 2 ohm speaker to am amp, thus increasing the power to the speakers. One drawback to this is that it makes your amp run hotter, especially if it is not 2 ohm stable. If your amp gets too hot it will turn off to protect itself from cooking.

There really wouldn't be any reasom to bridge your amp because most likely it is meant to be bridged for a 4 ohm load which in most cases is meant for a single 4 ohm speaker.. You would most likely be better off by running each speaker on its own channel....as for bridging the amp all you need to do is hook up a positive in one chanel and the negative in the other....most bridgeable amps will have a diagram showing what ports to use to be in bridged mode.
