Re: how do i bridge an amp for 2 speakers and 1 sub
you use the front two channels like normal, then follow the amps instructions on bridging the rear channels - just make sure the amp can han handle the load.

ummm ... subs are speakers, sometimes you have to learn to read between the lines. There should be a short section on bridging.

Some times you just need to realize you know nothing about what you are doing and jsut take it to a pro.

Re: how do i bridge an amp for 2 speakers and 1 sub
You take your two speakers hook them up to channel A or 1 or the front or whatever they call it on the thing. Then you take the right positive terminal of channel b hook it up to positive on the sub, negative left goes to neg on the sub. fairly simple.
what is the model of the amp anyways? |
