Amp Blowing fuses

I was unaware that the amp was a 2 channel amp, so I said no bridging should be done.
Amps are bridged by connecting the possitive lead of one channel to the negative of another channel and using the remaining leads to connect the speaker.
an instructions manual for a JL Audio amp is here, if you want to verify

Taken directly from the exact manual you sent:
To bridge a pair of channels, use the
“Left +” and “Right –” speaker connectors
only (the “Left –” and “Right +” remain unused).
Please, for your own safety do not try your theory. Perhaps you misunderstood what you were reading, so please do not try it. You should Not be connecting the amplifier to itself.

what I said is exactly the same as the manual stating....try reading slower

This chart does not apply to OPs situation, completely disregard. Traditional amps are not 2 ohm stable bridged. When you bridge the amp the left and right outputs are combined internally and the impedence is cut in half. The maximum load that can be bridged is 4 ohms, which internally is 2 ohms when the left and right channels are combined. If you were to put a 2 ohm load bridged on the amp, it would really see a 1 ohm internal resistance, which would cause the power supplies pull more current, thus blowing fuses.
With your set up there is no power difference between a 2ohm stereo connection and a 4 ohm bridged connection. The amp will produce the same amount of power either way.

these are very under rated high quality amps u will get more than 500w outta this easy exp at 1ohm
