hooking up an amplifier in a car?

Question

My son had a amp in his truck. He unhooked it and I need to wire it back. I know the power to the positive and he had the ground just grounded to the body and a wire from the radio to a hookup called remote. He also has to input wires plugged into the amp. He has 2 10" he had hooked up to them (he is not around now) but only one set of wires came out of the box he has the speakers in. So on the amp there is two places for speakers to hook up and a line between the positive of one and the negative of the other for a bridge. How do I wire the speakers with just the two wires form the box? He also had an extra wire for something. Bridging? Let me know what I am doing wrong please or how it needs wired. Thanks

Ok just was not sure if he had positive to one positive and the negative on the oposite negative and the other wire he had was to jump between where it was labeled bridge.

Answer 1

Well sounds like the box is bridged. You have two options...you can hook the speaker wires up to one side (left or right). , or you can hook them up respectivly...one right positive and one left negative or vice versa.

Answer 2

yeah it sounds bridged since there are two subs in the box. you'd probably be safe hooking it back up bridged, or else there'd be 4 wires coming out to hook one up to each channel
