Is it okay that I ran two wires in the positive terminal on my amp and two wires in the negative terminal. One wire in the positive terminal went to the positive port in my left sub and the other wire in the positive terminal went to the positive port in my right sub and same for the negatives.I'm basically squeezing two wires in to were one is suppost to be. Is that an okay bridge or am I missing something?Trying to bridge two 10" pro comp subs to a 1600 legacy amp.?
You're describing wiring a pair of subs in parallel, not "bridging". There's no problem with connecting two subs to the same terminals, provided that both sets of wires fit cleanly, and that the amplifier can handle the combined load impedance. For example, if you're connecting a pair of 4-ohm subs, the impedance at the amp outputs will be 2 ohms. Make sure your amplifier can handle this impedance at the terminals you're using.Trying to bridge two 10" pro comp subs to a 1600 legacy amp.?
You got it man. You just have to make sure that the final impedance (ohms) is what your amp can handle. Look online for your amp specs to make sure it can handle the load while two subs are ran parallel. If they are single 4 ohm woofers they will create a 2 ohm load. If they are dual 4 ohm woofers, they will create a 1 or 4 ohm load depending how each is hooked up. Grab a digital multimeter and put it on the ohm setting to test out the impedance on each woofer just to be sure.
