How do I bridge two different amps together?

How can I hook up my same amps to my same subs?

• I have two 12 in kicker P1s and two JVC 400 watt GT series amps. I want to bridge each amp to one sub so I can get 400 watts to both subs for a total 800. There both in their own box ...show more

• Answer:

  How are you going to do that? You have 2 subs, you want to hook up 2 amps to each sub but you only have 2 amp. I think you need 4. Aside from the you are probable not even getting close to the power it says it puts out. Is that RMS or max power? Is that at 2 ohm or 4 ohm and what about the subs what are they rated in? Are the DVC or SVC? How much RMS can the subs handle? The only recommended way to do that is with a amp amp that is strapable to be daisy chained (they will have a input and out put in RCA), the amps but be the same and gain level must match identical. Provided that is the true uncliped RMS with DMM the out put should be 28.3 for 2 ohms or 40 at 4 ohms. However if its going to work it needs to look something like this http://s830.photobucket.com/user/ABolewski06/media/ampbridgesetupone.jpg.html If for some reason you want to hook both subs like this you will need to use a combination of this and http://www.kicker.com/dvc_wiring http://www.kicker.com/svc_wiring I would just run them separate for all setups or get a better amp that does the job.
