    Bridged means its combing channels. How many watts is the sub rated for continuously?

    May I ask what amp it is.Except for maybe some car amplifiers it is very unusual for an amplifier to have the capability to drive a 2 ohm load in bridged mode.

    1st. you can't bridge a mono amp. There are some you can strap together(ie. using 2 amps on one speaker for more power).

    2nd. Boss only makes the best fire starters in the world, and they label them as amps, stay away.
    Speakers: mains/2ch:SDA2a, surrounds-Monitor Series 7, center-CS350-LS, sub-Atlantic Technologies 172 PBM

    Amps:Parasound HCA 1000a powering mains(2ch/HT)
    Sources: Oppo DV-970HD(2ch/HT), Xbox360(HT), PS2(HT), Wii(HT), Kenwood KT-5300(2ch)
    Cables:Philips/RCA/Monster

    It probably is, but I've seen to many boss amps either smoke, or cause a fire. They are mass produced low quality amps.
