Hey everyone, I just wanted to make sure im going to be doing this correctly.

THe amplifier is a Power Acoustik 1600 watt 2 channel amplifier. 2ohm stable..Here are the sepcs

Can anyone please tell me how I would bridge 2 svc 4ohm subwoofers.(Sony Xplods 12"). I pulled up the diagram on this site and it shows up for a 2ohm load, just wanna make sure its the right one.

In your case i would probably just run each subwoofer to a seperate channel. I'm not sure if that amps is 2-ohm stable bridged. The specs you have given make it unclear. What is the model of the amp?

If you insist on bridging the amp, you will have to wire the woofers in series to achieve an 8 ohm mono load. The amp will put out the same power into a 4 ohm stereo load or an 8 ohm mono load. The diagram at the BOTTOM of This Page shows you how to wire them. Do not use the first diagram.
