I need to know if what is happening is normal
I installed my amp to work on 2 ohms bridged. The amp seems to heat up on every setting i place it on is this normal for an amp? or does it mean theres something wrong with it? Is there anything i can do to counter this effect?

I think you may have the amp bridged at an unstable load. There are very few amps that can be bridged and be stable at two ohm mono. Two ohm stereo is much more common. But just for confirmation, list the amp make and model...

Your answer was in your manual all the time.
READ IT!!
stereo 2-4 ohm
bridged 4-8 ohm
Do i need to answer in both your posts asking the question? Is there anything else you'd like us to look up that you can find yourself?
