New member Username: KingmikePost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-06 | I'm planning on getting 2x kicker CVR 10 inch 4 ohms subs.. I was looking at getting two audiobahn A8002T for $150 a peice. Is it possible to "bridge" or i guess run these amps together to power my two subs? Eventually i'm going to need help with wiring these two  |

New member Username: KingmikePost Number: 3 Registered: Nov-06 | Is the a8000T the same thing you're talking about? What's the difference between dual 2 and dual 4? Is there that much of a difference? Lastly, what should i be looking for when searching for an amp to power both of them.. I though i was supposed to go by total watts but i don't think i am anymore Thanks, i appreciate it |

New member Username: KingmikePost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | 2 more things.. where can i find that amp for a good price and what are you refering to as "bridged"? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 4283 Registered: Oct-05 | bridged is when you combine 2 channels into 1, meaning double the output power. on the amps channels, there will be a + and - marked "bridged" on that amp, so you just hook the speaker wires into that + and -, and then wire the sub as normal ebay.com onlinecarstereo.com better off to find a a8002v (their newest model) and make sure you got "dual voice coils" on the subs |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 3260 Registered: Sep-05 | Julio, he wanted to put 1 on each sub like origianl post sated.if your running 1 amp then use the 8002, if your running 1 amp per sub dual 4 ohm use 8000v per sub, or use dual 2 ohm subs and use the 8002 amps. that what you originally posted 1 amp per sub. |
