I'm certain the kenwood can't handle a 1/2 ohm load. dvc 2's for a 2 ohm load need to be wired like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/Liquid_force/DVC_Series_par.gif |

Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 197 Registered: Mar-04 | bridging is a function of the amp where the power of 2 channels is combined into one with one of the channels being inverted. A mono amp doesn't have that capability. Wiring two speakers together on one channel isn't bridging. |
