bridged or unbridged

whats better?



Also what is better to hook this up...

on my Alpine 4/3/2 Channel Power Amplifier MRV-F300 DUO-B I have 3 pairs of RCA Jacks

One Says: CH-1
The other says: CH-3
The last says: CH-1-3

Which one do I hook my RCA cables too, on the back of my head unit, I have 2 pairs of RCA jacks, I think I am going to need one for my other amp that will power my subs.

Thanks, SuPeR SpOrT

Car: See pic above
Engine: Too Small

Putting it in bridged mode combines the left and right channels to give you more power. The only time you want to do that is if it's connected to subs.

The 1+3 is a preout not an input. It so you can add another amp after that one so you won't use it. The reason it says 1+3 is I believe it uses the average of both gains as the level that comes out.

Hook the front right to 1 the front right to 2 the left rear to 3 and the right rear on 4
Hope this helps
