As far as I know there's only one way to bridge a 2 channel amp, and not all 2 channel amps are bridgable. If it's bridgable it should tell in the manual how to hook it up bridged.

I can't remember off hand how mine is bridged, I think positive goes to the R+ output and negative goes to the L+ output.

That way, or I have seen speaker + to the + of the left channel, and speaker - to the - of the right channel. EVERY amp will be different! What kind of amp do you have?

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
