Can i bridge my old amp?

[fatrix_1]

Hey I have a fusion ENAM3002 i got a while ago and was wondering whether or not it was internally bridged, i can't find much on google saying if it is or not and i don't have a voltmeter to test it out

Just wondering if anyone else has played around with one of these and can help? Thanks

this it?

looks like you can bridge the 2 outputs into 4 ohms to get 180W RMS

yep thats the one. I haven't bridged an amp before and i was reading this... http://www.wikihow.com/Bridge-an-Amplifier
read the warnings, last line it says it may end in smoke filled unhappiness...wouldn't it blow the fuses first?

thanks

Can def be bridged. Just keep the gain down. Rem gain aint a volume control!!!

haha yes i know...infact i am sorting that out tonight, might let the neighbours start to sleep...then wake them all up...b******s...

Anyway does the wire i use to bridge matter? i was going to use a standard piece of 'Remote connection' wire but thinking about it, it is pretty damn thin!
or should i go for something thicker...like one of the 2 that go to the sub (sorry i don't know the names just where they go!)

you don't need any wire you just connect your sub to the terminals marked bridge (usually the + of the left channel and the - of the right channel iirc)

Done that, but do I not need to connect the (-) of left channel and (+) of the right channel?
so if labelled the connections:
'A'=Left (+) 'B'=Left (-) 'C'=Right (+) 'D'=Right(-)
'A' and 'D' would go to the Sub and 'B' and 'C' would be joined with a piece of wire?

Sorry if this is completely wrong, just what i have been reading...Thanks for all your help so far!

no other pieces of wire are needed

also make sure your sub is 4 ohms as any lower will cook or throw your amp in protect

Thanks for all your help dude
