XxFlossinxX Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well I just got a new system in my 2008 impala, I put 2 10in RF R1's and a Legacy Icon 2000Watt amp, I was told if i kept the gain set properly the subs would be fine. Well they hooked the subs up to one channel, the guy that my buddy had hook up the subs was told to bridge it but did not, so i found out and bridged it but its not as loud anymore. i was wondering if it would mess anything up if I hooked it back up the other way... If I can get any help on this I would greatly appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassinblazer Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 That doesn't really make too much sense...when you bridge a two channel amp to one channel, that is called bridging. When you take a 4 channel amp and bridge it to two channels, that is called bridging. Taking subs that are hooked up to one channel and hooking them up to 2 channels is unbridging. If there were such a word... Quote BassinBlazer JL[RF][Kenwood][AQ] I need a new amp! Sell me your amp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryderonthestorm Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Im assuming he is talkin bout a 2 channel amp and the person who installed it hooked the subs up in parallel to just one of the channels of the amp. What coil configuration are your subs? dual voice coils? 4 ohm, 2 ohm?

XxFlossinxX Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Im not 100% sure how to explain it...there 4 hook ups on the amp, 2 channel, the box has two hook up on it one for each sub...They linked the the subs outside the box, the amp says "bridge" with arrows to hook them up to the two outer hookups they hooked them up to 1 channel as if you were hooking up each sub to a different channel. Im not sure if that makes it more clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassinblazer Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Im assuming he is talkin bout a 2 channel amp and the person who installed it hooked the subs up in parallel to just one of the channels of the amp. What coil configuration are your subs? dual voice coils? 4 ohm, 2 ohm? Oh word...I got ya. Yea, more info would be nice. Dual VCs? Ohms? What type of amp is it? Channels? WE NEED INFO MAN! But we are here to help, non the less. Sounds like maybe the impedance is wrong if it got quieter. What type of subs are they?

XxFlossinxX Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 The amp is (LA2970BK) Legacy Icon 2000W The subs are Rockford Fosgate R1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm guessing they are d4's and each sub is wired in series and the subs wired parallel so when you hooked up a single sub you lost power.
