no, the sony amp can be bridged to 2 channels. I dont know what the cause of that problem was. I replaced it today with the jbl amp, and so far so good. Twice as much power, and it doesn't short out. I am starting to think that maybe 2 12's rather than one 8 would be more suffice. While the 8 is top of the line(JL Audio 8W4D4 $139.00), i think that perhaps 2 12" rockford fosgates from best buy for $64.99 each would be better. What do you all think?
