i have a question about bridging amps...this is not an exact situation so just go along with me..

lets say you have a bridgeable amp that powers your two subs, but the subs can handle alottt more power than the one amp.

can you buy a few more of the same exact amps.. bridge them all together and power the same subs??..or does everything change?

It would be called strapping and it varies from amp to amp, but most amps will not.

Blain >>> are you talking about Doing this with that amp that came with that Package Deal you bought off ebay because if thats what u are thinking of doing i would just scrap that amp an get somthing different that has enough power to push both your subs properly, maybe Get a Class D mono that puts out 1000 rms at 1 ohm, that would give you 200rms of head room an power those 12's very nicely or if you wanna use them at 2 ohms get somthing that puts out 500x2 @ 2 ohms

Im not tryin to be a jerk its just that the Sound storm F2800 amp that came with that package is probably barely given you 150X2 RMS at 2 ohms an probably only maybe 350x1 RMS when Bridged so i would just buy another Amp an Toss that Sound Storm to the side or maybe Sell it to some one..Buy another amp, i assure you that you will be much happier if you just Break down an buy a different amp

Kicker & ED amps just to name 2 ....

bridging means joining 2 or more channels to create 1 .

Strapping means connecting 2 amps to get double the power of 2 individual amps but it must be compatible as the manufacturer rec ........
