Awesome Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 O.k so basically, I'm about to buy some stuff for a basic system and plan to get a Brutus, but it's not bridgeable and I do plan to eventually get a bigger and better set up. So when I do, Will I be able to hook up 2 amps without bridging them? or will i just have to not use the amp and buy a couple more that are bridgeable or one that will put out enough wattage?
skittlesRgood Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 be a little more specific. what amps are you looking at? how many subs? dual VC or single? If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

Skullz Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 What amps are you looking to buy? Will they be for the stage and if so what would your preference be, are you looking for a 4 channel amp or a 2 channel amp? What kind of budget do you have to play with so we can get a better idea on what to recommend and are you looking at getting an amp and subwoofer also? Personally don't start too low or you'll be replacing everything all over again in just a short period of time whereas if you get some good gear off the bat you'll have less to replace later as your system grows but the trade off is a longer wait time between new additions to the system. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
Awesome Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Posted September 13, 2010 be a little more specific. what amps are you looking at? how many subs? dual VC or single? Right now I'm looking at a brutus brz1200.1 and 2 Alpine type r's dual vc. But what I'm asking is will I be able to expand on it when i want to or will i be stuck starting over buying a new amp and not using this one (because its not bridgeable) if i were to get some more powerful subs?
Skullz Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 You could go with something like this as a start.

fritosaregood Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 I think your wanting to say strapable? bridging is for 2 and 4 channel amps. your looking at a mono amp, so its only one channel, its seems every noob to this likes to use "bridgeable" whenever they can to make it sound like they know something.
