4 Channel (normal)

+ -------(wire2 positive)--------
- -------(wire1 negative)--------
- -------(wire2 negative)--------

4 Channel (bridged)

+ ============(wire1&2 positive)=========

Oh sorry, my first post is incorrect. That should read 2 Channel amp. And that shows how to bridge a 2 channel down to Mono/single channel. I have absolutely no clue how to bridge a 4 channel or if its at all possible. I know its not on my 4 Channel amp.

im just trying to bridge my amp so it works as a 2 channel since it has 4.

[xXdaveXx]
