Subwoofer trouble shooting

[MDavis]

I've got 2 - 10" infiniti kappa installed bridged to two ohms. When I connect them bridged I get little to no sound.
If I connect one to one channel it worked fine on either channel. One speaker has a little distortion when this way.
If I connect both to single channels I get no sound again.
I tried this with a different amp and same result. What could be the issue? Bad amps or bad speaker? The other amp I tried is suspect also. Help me here.

9 volt battery to speaker contacts. speaker should jump when contact is made with battery.

Will your amp handle a 2 ohm load? Is it bridgeable?

Yes,
I hooked up my speakers from my SUV and they worked fine.
Then, Instead of running one wire from the amp to speaker #1 then to speaker #2
I ran both to the amp bridged, one from each a speaker and reversed
+- on one set it worked fine. I will try reversing on speaker in two channel mode and see what it does.

Amp is an infiniti 1600 d or something like that.

This is a really good old school website. You can find setup info here and way more than you'd ever use.

Check out item 51 on the scroll bar on the right. You may find a diagram that works for you there.

check your speakers (individually) with a ohm meter to make sure the voice coils are not shorted. 4 ohm speakers will range from about 3.5-4.2 ohms anything more or less than that they are trash........

It was an amp issue.
