Of course it is possible to bridge seperate amplifiers together, sure. When a person bridges a stereo amp into one woofer (which is connecting two amps to one speaker) that's what is being done. As long as the amplifiers are designed with this kind of capability it's easy. If you have the proper equipment and electronics knowledge and use the proper amplifiers you can connect two, three, four seperate chassis together. But you CANNOT take any common, off-the-shelf car audio amplifiers and simply connect them together as they are NOT designed for this (unless you want to watch your fuses blow as you make pretty fireworks.) The million dollar truck you linked to is a factory sponsored competition vehicle and the amp rack was put together specificially for this one competition. ------------- Support the12volt.com

There is nothing nice about an all Pioneer system.

i see that the Rockford Fosgate Power T10001bd amps and other modles are made to hook 2 amps to one load, it says - Power Sync synchronizes two Power bd amplifiers for driving a single load
- Master Sync creates a master / slave setup with synchronized gain, EQ, and crossover settings
am i right?

I believe I did answer his question. Like I said, if the amplifiers are designed to be bridged together then it can be done. If they are not, then not. As simple as that. ------------- Support the12volt.com

And no wonder it took all that power! with an efficiency of 88dB, you HAVE to feed it that much power to even HEAR it! I prefer a driver that is under rated, so you CAN feed it twice as much power as you have... gives room to grow!
Once you get to 5kW, where you gonna go from there?
..."but these go to eleven" ROFLMAO!

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."

What brand amps would you suggest to have the capability of bridging into one load to produce massive sound with between 1 - 4 subs? If you cannot list them all please, tell me how i can find these special amps. What mods or specs do i need to look for when searching for amps? Do subs go the same way. is there a specific way to wire the subs up when loading more than 1 amp?

I have no problem with pioneer subs, and infact use 4 12's right now for my spl truck and have yet to be beat in town here, but the amps have a huge problem with reliability and inefficentcy. Also note in the above article that it doesnt say he uses pioneer amps and pioneer provides no link to the amp model so I amp guessing they werent pioneer amps.
