I wouldnt suggest bridging the connection. Even though you have a mono amp, it is capable of running multiple speakers in parallel sequence. In order to prevent your sub from losing resistance in ohms (causing a blow), just connect the lines to your sub into one of each (+) and (-). There are 4 total, but to get best results I highly recommend you use only one of each.

Your amp puts out 250 rms and your sub puts out 250 rms. These are the numbers you want to get the best results. If you bridge you get a higher rms as well as a higher peak. This is bad because you could potentially blow youe sub on those peaks. As I said, match RMS wattage, its the absolute best way to go in matching subs with amps.

 

wow thanks good info!

 

dude thats the same setup I have I have a 12" w3v2 with a JL 250/1 amp. Just run the 250, you're not supposed to push a sub to its max wattage...its not good.

So heres a few pics of my line output setup. I know....it looks messy....but my enclosure covers it all up [sm=smiley4.gif]. Its all fairly self explanitory. The blue clips connecting to the speaker lines are the wire taps i used to avoid splicing.

 

yea that's pretty much the same thing I have...it does actually splice the wire a little because you have to somehow connect copper to copper. It's one of those clips you can buy at the hardware store i'm pretty sure. Once u clip it over u put both wires in...right? Looks just about the same as mine.

EDIT- this should be a stick haha

 

Yeah thats about it. You put both unstripped wires in the slots, then you clamp down a little connector plate that pierces through the insulation and makes a bridged connection to the two wires. They never actually touch though, its like a mini fuse in a way, without the resistance at least. Then you fold the clip over and thats it. Nice and clean with only pliers needed.

 

thats the same stuff all my zex compnentsuse when needing to tap into a power source or the wot sensor, great info guys, thanks alot!

 

anytime, hoped it helped

 

I picked one up. The one i have is 4 channel , i can just hook up the rr and lr channells right and just leave the wires for the front channells dead?

also, i cante tell which wire is positive and which is negative? one has solid color and the other has a black stripe?

 

black stripe is (-)
