I will say DO-NOT-BRIDGE it. NO-CAN-DO, but I may be wrong. Someone else back me on this.

Yeah, don't bridge it. It'll just run hot then turn off...for good.

I'd recommend getting another amp for the subs, if wallet permits such a purchase. You can find decent amps for cheap all over the net, super stores, and of course stereo shops. Of course, there are a myriad of great amps to chose from. You could also look on the classified page here to see if there's an affordable amp for sale. Another option is to look in Crutchfield for their little Three-way cross-over (passive) that takes the output from the amp and bridges it at 100 Hz or so and then sends a hi-passed signal to the components. Sorry if this is choppy, no sleep .

You only need find a bridging module. Basically what they do is invert one of the channels so you can "strap" the 2 outputs together. I wouldn't plan on finding one. I had one from orion, it used they're din plugs, and was for the original 225HCCA (God, how long ago was that?) anyway, it's yours if you want it, but I wouldn't even consider bridging that Pie-in-ear amplifrier.

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...

I see one problem with using a bridging module. Some small amps like that use IC amplifiers that are already in a bridged configuration. So the amp might crap out on you.
