I have two 12" subs, that I'm going to run off of a Profile Claifornia amp, which can run at 100x2 or 300x1 watts. What would be the best way to wire my subs to the amp without creating a 2ohm load (I don't think this amp is stable at 2ohms). I want to bridge the amp to get 300 watts over both subs, but I heard series wiring isn't good, any suggestions?

The subs are 4 ohm single voice coils. I just bought a 4 channel amp instead of a 2, and i'm going to bridge it to get 2 channels of 225 watts, and run one sub to each channel. I've never wired a sub before, could you tell me where all the connections go? Also, how do I bridge a 4 channel amp so that one of the subs isn't running on just the back channels, and one is running on the front, or is that how it has to be. Help is greatly appreciated.

The amp nead to be bridge just as it says. Do you still need to bring in four chanles to the amp or dos it have a two chanle input mode. In any case don't concern yourself over front and back. The info is the same. You may need to stop and think though if you do what L-chanle stuff to come out the left and right out the right. just hook up L-stuff to the front inputs and R-stuff to the back input and out puts. A two chanle amp is realy 2 two chanle amp in one box. You are bridging the two diferent amps into one chanle a piece.

You really should have got 8 ohm subs. I think the california series amp is bridgeable, just not on two 4 ohm subs. I bridged the two back channels of my friends 50X4 profile calif. and it works fine. Take the front channels and combine them to your back channels. (just connect the +s and -s together) Keep the left and right channels seperate. Then wire 1 sub to the left, one to the right.
