I'm sure they'll be fine for your application. I mean how many watts
do you really need?!


Martin


I dont know anything about power speccin, the speakers are 2 x 350w bass
drivers with a low pass filter

Well I dunno. How big is your room and how loud do you like it?

Others will need to help you on this. I doubt you need 700W of bass in a
domestic setting! 200W ought to be enough at a guess.

I like it loud, Ive already got 8 speakers. :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bridging can be very effective at this if applied incorrectly.

**All amplifiers (save a minute number) are bridgeable. What
dictates the success of such an operation are the following:

* The MINIMUM impedance of the speaker.
* The MINIMUM impedance that the amplifier is rated to drive.

Divide the minimum impedance of the speaker (not the average
impedance, which is the usually supplied figure) by 2. If that
figure is lower than the minimum impedance rating of your
amplifier, then you can't do it.
Some general rules of thumb (or is that thumbs).

* Unless the manufacturer provides specific switching, or bridging
adaptors, they should not be bridged.
* Very few Denon amps can be successfully bridged into less than 8
Ohm loads.
* Since Sherwood amps are generally crap, they cannot be bridged
into ANY speaker.


whats the best option for driving my sub then? new amp or is there
another way?


Just use one channel of the power amp.


one side of it? is that safe


Totally.

Apparently so.

All speakers have dB/W ratings. It's not a linear relationship ( decibels
are logarithmic ) so it's measured with 1 watt of input ( actually 2.83V for
an 8 ohm nominal speaker ).

Depending on the kind of speaker/driver that figure may vary anything
between say, 85 and around 112 dB ! All for the same power.
