Got enough tickets to prove my a$$ so I keep it down some...

Also, I wouldnt listen to that BullSh*t about bridging your AMP, you can overheat the amp..

Sure it puts more stress on your amp when you bridge it but if you have a good enough amp, it shouldnt make a difference.

The only thing that sucks about bridging an amp is the power draw.

what kills most amps when bridged is low voltage. Most 12 volt amps need to run at around 14 volts to be "happy" when you bridge it, your headlights dim that is drawing down to about 10 volts, and real hard on teh amp. Most of the beter amps underrate their ratings becasue they know people will do it anyway (soundstream told me they don't make an amp that won't do 1 ohm with a good charging system, so did powerbass)
