If it is not in bridge mode set it back to that mode. In the next step inch insulation is stripped off from the wire at both ends.
The most important thing to be done is the connection of the wires. The positive terminal of one amplifier holds one end of the wire while the other end is held by the negative terminal of the other amplifier. This can be performed by wrapping them around its corresponding terminal and then screwing them down. There is a clear distinction between the positive and negative terminals which is given by its color difference where red indicates positive and black indicates negative terminal.
The speakers and the terminals in the bridged amplifier can be connected by the wire. The positive wire is connected to the terminal which is positive and in the same way negative is connected to the negative of the speaker.
With this article the question of how to bridge two car audio amps becomes easy. Though the instructions are enough to carry out the bridging it is very important to keep in mind that if there is any uncertainty the bridging must not be done.
