Hi,

Just surfed on looking for information about bridged amps, but I actually have another question.

I have two 10" Sony Xplod subs, rated at 1100w, in separate inclosed boxes.

I have for the past day looked around my house for a 1200w Sony Xplod, 4 channel amp that I used to run with them, and I have just about given up looking for it.

I've been online looking for a new amp, and after reading the specifications of my old (hidden) amp. I have just about decided to buy a 1000w, 2 channel amp instead.

The reason I want the 2 channel is because I want 500w to each sub. I mean they used to really thump on the old amp, but I think I was only pushing about 200w to them.

To be honest I don't really know what I'm doing or what I should buy, and I'm not so sure how to bridge a four channel amp to 2 subs.

I would like to keep using these subs for now, but I would like to know, what would be the best matched amp for them. If you have a suggestion please post it.

Thanks.

Whats important is how many watts RMS those subs can take, and how many watts RMS those amps can give out.

Sorry about that. The sub numbers are:

XSL101P5 Sony 10" Car Subwoofer (1100w)

1100w peak power.

300w continuous power.

They have a 5 Sided polypropylene Cone and are in sealed boxes.
