tonyloco Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Well I'm confused then because everything in that picture is saying that it is fine to bridge the amp at 2 ohm. EDIT yes I missed the word NO spelled in big letters. No it is not 2 ohm stable bridged. raise the speakers to 8ohm but its not the same push from your amp. Or leave them in stereo your choice.O just put one in bridge.see what happens. Edited April 14, 2010 by tonyloco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 and what would happen if i bridged the two anyway...? or what would happen if u put a 2 ohm load on a 4 ohm load amp? If you hook up a 2 ohm load to a 4 ohm stable bridged amp then it should go into protect when it hits certain bass notes and if its a real shitty amp then it would blow but I don't think you would need to worry about it blowing as long as you don't keep putting into protect.

manofthehour Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 and i was hoping i could bridge two because im getting 2 12" RE audio SEX12D2's ... but i guess ill save up more for an amp too... what i need to look for is a 2 ohm stable bridgeable amp correct?

Actually you would be better off looking for Class D mono amps. Almost every company out the makes and sell Class D mono amps so you have a huge selection to choose from.
