Excuse my ignorance on this please. I did a search and wasn't able to find anything, so I'm asking for help.
I have an old Jensen 100 watt 2 channel amp that I'm putting in my boat to drive my sub. It's supposed to be 100 watt/channel, 250 watt bridged.
My question is, what is the correct speaker wiring to bridge the amp?
I can't afford a new sound system as my boat fund is now empty after all the money I've spent on the hull and interior.:rolleyes:

Some amps are different but look on the side of the amp where teh speaker terminals are and it will show the + and - there should be something that says bridged and connects 2 of the 4 terminals.

Like what RB said. For example: briged is to the outside connectors on the below drawing..
__briged__
+....- ..+....-
left ......right
I can email a picture of how it should look.... Sorry but I can't post pics into the media center from work...
