If you get 2 8ohm subs you can bridge channels 3&4. If you get 2 4ohm you need to run them on each indepedent channel.

I am planning to get 2 10's sony XSL101P5 10" rated 4ohms, I want to run 4 ohm single voice coil woofers at 2 ohm's, Would I still be able to have the amp bridged still? Ive a JBL BP300.1 4 channel amp. Or I wont be able to bridge 3/4 channels? ------------- e4

If your amp can handle 2 ohms with channels 3 and 4 bridged, your ok (Check your spec sheet). Be sure to check the specs, becuase if your amp cannot handle a 2 ohm load when bridged you will burn it up. If it cant, then you will have to connect each sub to a single channel, or get 2 8 ohm 10" subs. ------------- Probe GT-Bepro!

If those are 4 ohm DVC subs then wire one on each channel (like 3 and 4). Do you have to buy sony subs though?

Find yourself some different subs that are either single 8 ohm coils or dual 4 ohm coils. Then the amp can be bridged and operated safely to drive two subs.
