I guess I should have put 300 watts RMS that I'm running. And not just to the sub, I'm talking total wattage, including front speakers. The sub gets about 135 watts, if you want to know. It's an 8, and is plenty for me.

400w RMS (dunno about peak/max as it's a useless measure). I'm using a single 4ch amp with 80x2 for my components up front and the rear channels bridged for 240x1 driving my rear deck subs.

The sub was out during pic; it sits in a leather covered sealed box between the amps. Th amp rack is also leather covered.

My four channel amp says max watt 300 but in reality I am getting 35X4 totalling 140. my sub ame 75X2 bridged giving 150 is really only giving maybe 100 since I nearly fried the enternals. so that is 140 + 1== =240 undistorted sound into 4ohms.
most figures do not mention the ohm rating but or real world wattages based on actual voltage. So I guess I am getting 240 at 14v and probably 200 at 12 volts.
If every one keeps on adding up what is printed on the box then no one really know what kind of wattage they are getting.
Also are those figures with or without the car running, i.e.: battery or alternator power, voltage, that is the question?

I still contest that bridging will dirty up your signal. Feel free to argue but you can't win.

Why?  I'm not saying you are wrong, I just don't know and am curious.

Hard to argue with someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.  Generally, running an amp in bridged mode will increase the THD and amount of heat generated. Will the increase in distortion be measurable by scientific instruments? Yes. Will the increase in distortion be detectable by human ears? No. BTW, 99.99999% of signals will have some level of distortion in them. So, I guess we're all running "dirty" signals.
