How to bridge a JBL BP 300.1

Does anyone have this amp? I am trying to find out how to properly hook up the speaker outputs for bridged operation? There are no markings on the amp to show "bridged" hookups. Thanks for any help in advance.

So if there is 2 x + and 2 x - output terminals and I am only running one sub I can get full power by hooking up to only one +- side? I guess the amp automatically channels all 300 to one side of the outputs? Thanks for the help.

It is not DVC unfortunately. It is a MB Quart Discus 10" and I am not real happy with the sound. It is either the amp or the sub but it is not hitting hard at all. Thanks for the help guys.

Is it a 4 or 2 ohm sub? If it's a 4ohm sub then you are only getting 150 watts out of your amp. The other possible problem is the box...if too small it won't be hitting as deeply as it could.

It is a 4 ohm sub. That is why it sounds so damned lame. Thanks
