Ok, here are some quick litle run downs, of a few questions I see posted here on a regular basis.
What is bridging an amp Hiss?
Bridging literally refers to taking two channels of an amp and combining them to turn the amp into a one channel amp.
Woah, Hiss, what exactly is going on when I bridge my amp then? More or less, you are combining two channels into one, to get twice the voltage.
Well, Hiss, why should I do it?
When you bridge an amp you get more power from it. You can put out somewhere near 4 times more power through a bridged channelthan you can through a non-bridged channel.
Awesome Hiss, i'm going to go bridge my amp right now! Wait.
Bridging an amp can cause distortion. Another reason you should hold out on bridging your amp, is because it might be unable to remain stable at that load that your speakers present.

Hiss! What's the best brand of speakers/Comp sets??!! My homeboyz say it's ___, and ___.
THERE ARE NO BEST BRAND OF SPEAKERS. When comparing what is the top of the line speaker, you are generally comparing what sounds best to you. AlthoughI can't tell you the best speaker for you, I will relate you to some quality brands.

Hiss, you are the man! I went out and bought me some tight subz and the sweetest amp ever G!!@$@! But why do my headlights keep dimming dawg?!?!?
Well, your headlights are dimming because there is a drop in the voltage level that is available to all your vehicles power using accesories. The dimming is probobly being caused by the extremely large current demanded by your new amp.
Your best bet is to firstly, check all your wiring. Then go check the battery, and altenator for problems.
If everything seems to be in working order, then you might be in need of upgrading to another battery, or a new altenator.
Most problems of headlight dimming can be solved by upgrading the Big 3.

HISS!!! WHAT ARE THE BIG 3!!! AHHH!!
The BIG 3

The changing of these 3 wires to a larger guage can not only help your electrical system, but it can benifit you in any competition you may enter.
Keep this in mind when deciding what awg to choose, always look at the power charts of your amp, and if it requires 4 awg then use no less than 4 awg. Use 2 awg if you can, and if you are feeling nutty, go all out and use 0/1.

Ok i'm done for now, maybe someone can sticky this, that would be nice.
GOD bless kids.
Have fun with all your audio desires.

On amps, Mcintosh, and Zapco make some amazing amps, but they are pricey.
Also, Resonant Engineering got bought out by US Amps, and now they are produced somewhere in China. They don't make quality stuff like the old drivers.
