I got a question about bridging a 1 channel amp

I have a one channel amp and 2 10" subs (4 ohm). The amp can operate at 2 ohms. How do I bridge it to 2 ohms?

Answer: you can't.

"Bridging" refers to combining two or more channels into one big channel. How can you combine the two channels of a one channel amp? You can't.

You can add more subs in parallel to lower the impedance the amp is "seeing." That's about it. Pretty basic theory.

i think thats what he means, hooking up 2 subs to one amp. are the subs single voice coil or dual (one set of hookups or two?). if they are single, parallel the subs. check out JL Audio's website, they have more than enough information on hooking up subs and its very easy to understand.
