wiring query
Hope someone can help me out. I have 2 12" Alpine subs in a bandpass box hooked up to a Phoenix Gold QX 180.2. The box has 2 wiring connectors; one to each speaker. If I try to bridge the amp by joining the 2 positives and the 2 negatives together it sounds like crap and amp keeps cutting out(overheats). If i hook up one to each channel its fine but not enough punch and amp does not overheat. By the way amp iis a 2 channel amp.
Any ideas would be geatly appreciated.

I would think so. In looking up the subs they seem to only be SVC. for sure. Do you have a digit multimeter? If so check the terminals on the box to see how many ohm the speakers are. This is the only way to tell for sure. I wouldn't keep driving your amp into protection, until you have a chance to find out why.
