Question about bridging an amp
First of all, "bridging" is the term used for hooking up one sub to an amp right? I have an amp and I am not sure the right way to bridge it to a single subwoofer. I think I have it done right but I am not sure. Thanks all!

Bridging is the term used for turning 2 of an amps channels into one output. By wiring the positve of the right chanel with the negative of the left channel... Here's a crappy drawing

()=speaker wires.. basically leaving the 2 -/+ channels in the middle not wired to anything

Thanks again Mohawk! One more thing, do I just plug my rear RCA's into the rear outlets on the amp liek normal?
Aslo, I decided to do the custom box thing and I am going Friday to give the guy a deposit to build it for a single 10" JL. Thanks!

Yeah, he said that he had JL specs for every woofer even the old w1 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] My amp is 4 channel but it says it can be used as 2 channel i think. Thanks again! I am learning a lot from you
