Should I Bridge My Amp??
I have 2 Rockford Fosgate 12's in a sealed box with a divider. I have a RF Punch 100.2 amp running to them. I was wondering should I bridge the amp? The subs are 8 Ohms and I'm wondering how much better it would be to bridge them.

I'd give it a shot. You said they're 8 ohm subs, right? I would paralell wire them so its a 4 ohm total load and your amp should be just fine bridged at that. It may or may not sound much different, most likely you'll get some more headroom out of it and it'll sound cleaner and maybe a bit louder.

How do I parallel wire them? I can't find my instruction booklet for my amp. Anyone know how to do this?

Okay, take the two pairs of leads from your subs. You've got two positive and two negative wires right? Twist the positives together and likewise the negatives. Screw the positives down to the left channel positive node, and then the negatives into the right channel negative node. That will bridge it. Check out my system at http://photos.yahoo.com/oej2k
