For driving the big speakers this kind of system can also give a very high power. Speakers like sub woofers can be given very high power using this. The amplifiers are to be connected correctly for the first time. A wrong hook up may also lead to burning of either amplifiers or your speakers or even both. But how to bridge two car audio amps?

There are few tools required for doing this process. It includes pliers, 2 car audio amps, wire strippers, wrench, wire rated for the amplifiers. These tools will help in the accomplishment of task in a simpler way and easier way too.

The insulation is then stripped for half an inch from both the ends of the wire. The wire is then connected between the two amplifiers. In one it is connected in the positive end of an amplifier and the other end is attached to the negative of the second amplifier. This is done by wrapping wire so that it surrounds the terminals. Then the knobs are screwed back to position. Generally there is colour code for the two terminals. The colours for negative and positive are black and red respectively.

The speakers and the terminals in the bridged amplifier can be connected by the wire. The positive wire is connected to the terminal which is positive and in the same way negative is connected to the negative of the speaker.
