Speakon(bridge)

[safehands 0]

i am gonna run 2 amps in bridge to drive a double 18" bass bin,the bridge input is a speakon connection,bridge is always positive to positve,but on a speakon connector theres a + and a minus,so do i just join both wires and put it into the plus,then plug it in?or can i use the normal speaker terminals,ie red to red?

perhaps you could clarify what you mean a bit more

 

you are going to use TWO amps to run one dual 18" cab?

 

also what make/model are the amps, some kick out on different terminals

i find this rather worrying, i think you need to expand more on the equipment being used

lol,2 warrior is1000w amps will be used to drive 1 dual 18" bass bin which is 1200w rms,so 1 amp=1 speaker,2 amps=2 speakers,the speakers are wired on there own so i can run 2 amps to drive them.i did use a peavey cs800x in bridge mode on its own to drive this bass bin,but it keeps going thermol on me as its not got the power,the 2 warriors will give me a lot more head room(800w) so should be fine,just want to no how to wire the speakon connector!hope this kind of explains lol

You'd be better reading the manual for the warrior.

 

Doesnt the IS1000 have a dedicated Bridge Speakon socket? If so, just use pair 1 +/-

as superstardeejay has mentioned, the is1000 has a bridge output

 

no special wiring needed

 

just go normal speakon to speakon +1 -1 to +1 -1, it even says this next to the Bridge Socket

 

 

 

i presume the drivers are 8 ohms each? If not, the warrior amp isnt designed for 4 ohms bridged
