Bridging JBL BP300.1?

Jared Savage New member Username: Fusionone Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Monday, November 28, 2005 - 22:33 GMT I've searched like a banshee trying to find out if this amp can be bridged, or whether its even worth doing so. I have a 1230w infinity, which is rated to 300w rms. This is a 4 ohm SVC sub. The amp is a JBL BP300.1, which is rated to 150w@4ohm, and 300w@2ohm. Its a mono amp with dual speaker connections.. what I'm wondering is, if I bridge these two connections, would this make my sub run at an equivlance of 2 ohms? Sorry if this seems like a really simple and stupid question, but I really can't seem to find any info regarding this amp and bridging. Thanks a ton for your responses! -Jared

You would only be giving each one 150wrms. It will work, but you should consider gettin a bigger amp and push them to the max. I have heard these powered right, and they get fairly loud.

And yes you can bridge it. There should be some indicator like the word bridge or a line from end to end on your amp at the speaker terminals where you can bridge it and you will notice a significant difference.
