    Question wiring question

    i hope you guys could help me with this. suppose im gonna wire three 8ohm subs in parallel, then connect it to a bridged 2 channel amp, will the amp see 1.5 ohms or 3ohms??? im confused. the amp im using is an old school orion 275SX. im using three JL 10w0 - 8ohms. will it still be safe for this particular amp??? or will i fry it. im not really into pounding bass. well sometimes :D thanks.

    Try looking it up on one of these sites. They seem to be informative on most car audio electronics. You will have to use their menu but, it's very simple. The first one may have a user diagram.

    Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 ohms. May be too much for a 2 channel amp. May want to consider just using a pair of subs instead of all 3.
