Bridging Subs

I have an Alpine MRV-F302 4/3/2 amp, running 2 6X9 speakers and 2 10" subs. The subs are 4 ohm and single voice coil. My question is, can I wire the subs parallel and bridged (ie. a 2 ohm load on the amp) for more power to the subs??

I don't think that amp is 2 ohm stable.  If it isn't, it will overheat and keep cutting off.

"My question is, can I wire the subs parallel and bridged (ie. a 2 ohm load on the amp) for more power to the subs??"

The answer is no. Apline amp when bridge are very stable to run at 4 ohm. Dropping the load down to 2 ohm as raydawg357 said can overheat and eventually cause damage to your amp.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

Okay, I'll leave things alone until I find another amp. Thanks for the replies.

Okay, here's another dumb question....if I wire them bridged in series to get an 8 ohm load, will I get more power to them than the 2 channel method I have now, the same power or less power??

You will get less power.  With that amp your only other option would be to get two 8 ohm subs.  This way when you bridge your amp it will see 4 ohms and not overheat.

Okay....sorry to be a pain...one other option?? Could I run the speakers off the HU, and run just the subs off the amp?? (bridge channels 1 and 2 to one sub, and channels 3 and 4 to the other sub) The amp would see 4 ohms, and should provide 120 watts versus 50 watts to the subs?? (My head unit is a CDA 9833).

Yes, that would be a good alternative.  You would loose some power from your rear speakers, but you will have more bass.
