Default """HOW DO I RIDGE AN AMPLIFIER"""

I never had to bridge an amp before, I have a 4 channel kenwood running to 2 rockford 8's in my jeep. To make it easier on myself, heres my diagram-just let me know which wire goes where.
PORTS A+ B- (RUNNING 1ST 8)
PORTS C+ D- (NOT SURE WHERE)
PORTS E+ F- (RUNNING 2ND 8)
PORTS G+ H- (NOT SURE WHERE)

Do I run a wire from C+ to G+ and another wire from D- to H- ??
this is how I did it, but the 8's aren't getting awhole lot of responce like I assumed, thanks guys!! OR----I might have the RCA's running in the regular auxilary input instead of subwoofer....I'll have to check after rain stops.....But I believe there are 3 different rca inputs....hopefully thats it

Before you can bridge your amp you need to know what impedance (ohms) your subs are and what ohm load your amp can handle. It might not be possible or whorth while to bridge it. If you have poor sub response check your RCA's and the xover settings on your amp. Possible the oxver is not set correctly.

Chillcat,

Sup man. Are you not going to run 2 10inch IDQs?

EatRice is on the $$ with his post. What part of FL are you in? I'm headed to Daytona at the end of the month.
