[First setup, but not playing as loud as it should.]

you should be fine wired like that. Basically a monoblock amp (by definition) is a single channel amplifier, there is nothing to bridge. On a stereo amp you would NEED to wire that way to bridge it, but for a monoblock, the 2 positive and 2 negative terminals are normally parellel on the inside of the amp. So take the positive for example. Regardless of which + output on the amp you connect to, you are still closing the same circuit.

cool that is actually very helpful thank you, so i'm not risking damaging my amp or sub with it wired like this? Correct?

how can you bridge a mono amp ?

unless that amp has ratings at 2 channels ( ex. xxx rm X2) i dont see that amp being bridgeable but then again i knows nuffin

Now i am very confused! I can take a picture of it and throw it up here for you to see what i've done.

yeah its a squeaky ass trunk door, but i cleaned up all the wiring today when i got the sub working. As for the amp being bridgeable, i believe it is because here's the features list. (last bullet down, i took a screen shot)

GOOD NEWS! so i looked at the settings and the voltage adjuster was almost all the way down, it goes from 0V to 24V, so i should have it in the middle correct? what would happen if i went over half way? Also, i will take a pic of the settings, could you guys help me out as to where they should be adjusted? Thanks!

haha no that was an ohio license plate, but thank you for offering to help. i'm posting the new video i took this morning now

[First setup, but not playing as loud as it should.]

I checked the settings on the headunit and everything seems to be good, but the sub was purchased used from a local guy i know and he originally bought the sub and used it once on his friends 100 watt amp just to test it. sold his car and had no use for it.

Hey guys! So I'm new to the whole SMD forums as well as car audio in general. For years I've been watching bass videos and always aspired to get my first setup and finally accomplished this goal. Today I worked for almost 12 hours installing my first setup which consists of one 12" Kicker L7 and an RE Audio XT2000 amp. I wired everything but was disappointed to see the sub was barley even hitting. Even when I cranked the volume the sub was barley moving and you could only tell it was by touching it. Also, while I was filming the "i need help" video, for whatever reason the sub wasn't even playing at all. I need help! What could be going wrong? I made sure everything was properly connected, could it be a setting on my aftermarket headunit? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys :tup:

Video

I just took a new video this morning, but this is the one from last night (figured out the reason it wasnt even playing was because i had the switch on slave)
