If you're asking how to bridge any 2 channel amp, it will vary. It must say that the amp is bridgeable in the literature, and many times the bridging terminals are marked on the amp itself.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

there will be some indication on one of the positive and one of the negative terminals. They are often connected by a line.

Some amps however are not made to be bridged

yes, of course the amp is bridgeable. for example, this is the indication: connect (+) terminal of the speaker to the (+) terminal of the first channel and (-) terminal of the speaker to the (-) terminal of the second channel. after then, what will you do to the (-) terminal of the first channel and (+) terminal of the second terminal? are you just going to leave it? or you will connect the two terminal?

have you been drinking acid rain witzein? go back in the corner and continue to hit yourself. Sorry man, just messin. Not all amps are bridgable as coppellstereo said. Can you give us the model number and brand of the amp?

Witzeln, you're trying to make it more complicated than it is. Connect to the indicated bridging terminals and you're done. The other terminals are unused.

...and no extra power will leak out. Promise!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

tnx! this is the answer I want.

what i mean is that the amp has the capacity to be bridge. it is a situation not a statement of fact.

^^^ yes dat is true.....it actually have some amps that dont use "bridge mode technology" if u want to call it that...the ones dat do...will have marked which terminals to use when bridgin and so on....most of the time it will be the extreme right terminal and the extreme left.....one being positive and the other being negative....make sure that yuh make sure to difrentiate yuh wires though because if hooked up wrong then yuh speakers will not play proper...i.e if you mix up the positive with the negative wires...it may cause your speakers to pull in...rather than push out...(i cant remember the term they use to describe this)...i am sure you all know what i'm talkin about

No, actually I have no idea what you are talking about, and I suspect that neither do you.
