100.4C Bridged @ 8ohms - what is the output

[ratten46 0]

I know this is backwards of what most people ask, but I cannot find it documented anywhere. I have limited space, and I'm trying to upgrade my system using the equipment I have sitting in my garage. So, that would have me using 2 channels of my 100.4C bridged - running a single SD-1 10" sub...which is an 8 ohm sub. So, what I'm wondering is how much wattage I will be able to get out this amp at 8 ohms bridged? My guess, based on the published specs, would be in the neighborhood of 200 watts. Just looking for a confirmation of this.

Thanks!

umm you are only going to be using 1 channel since the sub is a single voice coil? if so based on the ratings

----RMS power, 4 ohm bridged

320W x 2CH

you could see around 170-200~~

kind a expensive amp to be using to push a sub at like 200rms no? maybe pick up a cheap amp off e-bay for a few bucks? or why not flip the 100.4c? o wiat you siad you are upgrading lol so right now you need something to hold you over?

Yeah, it's overkill. I agree. I'm hoping to eventually run 2 channels to the front speakers (and upgrade those speakers), but that requires significantly more wiring, and this car is a pain to do wiring in. To replace the stock sub, I only need to add better power from the battery to the trunk. All the other wires (pre-amp, remote turn on) are already part of the stock harness. Just trying to keep it simple for now, and not spend any money.

Love the car. Sporty ride, holds the road quite well, quattro is a nice bonus. I've done a few engine upgrades (Injectors, intake, reflashed ECU), so gas mileage suffered a little and it will only burn 93 octane :-), but I can still squeeze out MPG in the mid 20's if I try.

And don't get me wrong, the stereo is really good for stock. I just always get "the itch" after a while....been driving this for about 9 months now...
