:) Hey peeps. i just invested in a new amp.

Alpine MRP- M350 mono block 700w max

I know how to install it but I'm wanting to use it for my subs only and I have no idea on how to bridge the thing :redface: . Can anyone please explain this to me or show me a web address to help..
Any advice would would be grateful..

Thanks Mel

You can't bridge a monoblock.
Thats the whole point of a monoblock... 1 output = mono. Commonly used for subs as there is only 1 speaker so no need for multiple outputs.

There will be only one output for speakers, and that is rated at 700W. Take this straight to your sub and you're ready to go!

Dont forget to fuse at the battery! :)

Goodluck!

Usually there is two speaker connectors, but one overall output. You can just use which ever if i remember right. Same power anyways

Mono Blocks are Single Channel Amp..
If you have one sub, then it will power it , if you have Two subs you will have to check and see if it is Two ohm stable...

Well... The amplifier you have is rated at 200WRMS into a 4ohm load and 350WRMS into a 2ohm load.
Your average subwoofer will have a nominal impedance of 4ohms, so if you just connect one sub to the output from your amp you will only be getting a max of 200WRMS output...
but if you have two 4ohm subs and wire them in parallel(both positive(+) terminals together and both negative(-) terminals together) then wire them to the amp, you will now have a 2ohm load and be getting the max out of the amp ie. 350WRMS.

But be careful with your subs though. If in parallel is 350WRMS from you amp, but your subs are rated at a lot more, then make sure you dont drive your amp beyond its limits.

ive got a similar amp, MRD-M301, with the same power specs, and i use it how cummins described, at 2ohms, except its running two dual 2-ohm Type S subs and wired a bit differently. The birth sheet says 384Wrms @ 2 ohm.

hasnt ever cut out yet :)

Each sub will be wired in series to present a 4 ohm load. Then the two subs will be wired in parallel to present a total 2 ohm load.
