I just got some 8ohm speakers that im running bridged on a 2 ch for shows and im having a hell of a time figuring out the uF value for this setup....

basically each speaker is 8 ohm
i wired them in parallel so thats a 4ohm load and then bridged the amp so each channel of amp sees 2ohm
i connected 2 47uF caps in parallel which should give me roughly a 400hz
x over point @ 4ohm correct?

or do the caps see a 2ohm load bc of the amp being bridged?

i am thoroughly confused.....

Th caps will see the lower load.

so 2ohm in this case? no wonder they sounded hollow lol

They will see the actual speaker load. Not what the amp perceives.

This is what I thought...But very confused lol.....

Yup. The same notion as to the reason 2ohm component sets are given different crossovers than their 4ohm counterparts you know?
