Question about Rockford Fosgate Punch 301S Car Audio Amplifier
When you put two 4 ohm speakers together in parallel you are making a 2 ohm speaker load. (If they are dual voice coil speakers then it is a one ohm speaker load.) And when you then bridge the two output channels together, then your 2 ohm load will act as a ONE (1) ohm load to each channel since they both share the load. This is not a good thing for an amp that is most happy with a four ohm load. It will fry your amp. You are lucky if it is only blowing fuses. Or else you have already blown the amp and now it doesn't matter what the speaker load is. Try turning the amp on with NO speaker attached and if it still blows fuses then you have a amp in need of repair. Good luck.

Are you sure you can put a 2 ohm load on this amp? Thats almost a complete short.
