Running it bridged is just the same as conventional as far as managing your power. It's only going the push the amount you dial it in at so yes your gain setting is important. I'm not so sure I'd start them at 150 watts though. Maybe 130 and work your way up. Head unit should be at 3/4 volume and bike must be running when setting the gains.

ok thanks. From the chart in the link above I see 34 volts because now speakers would be at the 300 w if bridged 150 per. Sorry it all confuses me lol. Thanks for the info man

My advice to you would be to leave the DMM alone and set the gains by ear.

Hey, bud, I got the same package you did. You may already know this but I just found out that I needed an additional 2 RCA Y splitters to wire the amp bridged. You may want to check my current thread out.
