adding amp to caddy with bose

Connect one voice coil to the left channel and the other coil to the right channel. If you INSIST on bridging it, series the 2 coils and run it 8 ohm mono.

I'll try that, but I think it's something else.'85 Toy

I think the bias adjustment of the amp has become out of tolerance. You can determine if that is the case by turning the amp on with ZERO volume. If it heats up with no volume there is a good chance that is the case. Did you remove the cover and adjust the controls inside the amp? If not, do not do it now. If one of the controls moved on it's own, that channel will heat up before the other one. That is why I asked if one side of the amp heated up faster than the other.

I'll try these things Monday morning. The Caddy belongs to a friend. I had this amp and sub hooked up in my Grand Am and it worked perfect, no heat at all. I had 2 of these subs running on this amp, one wired to each channel, and the subs wired in parallel. That's why I can't figure why it gets hot now even with 1 sub wired to just the left channel. I knew when I bridged it, it might get a little warm. I will try what you've told me to try and do appreciate all of the help. Thanks.'85 Toy

Seems the problem was the gains on the convertor were too high. Turned them very low, then I was able to increase the gain on the amp and it's not getting hot.'85 Toy
