Can you hook more than 1 amp up to a sub?

Can you bridge the front right channel and rear right channel on an amp or do they both have to be either front or back in order to bridge?

Depending on the sub yes you can.

Also dependant on the amp. But most amps can only have the front channels or the rear channels bridged.

what i mean with the sub is can your hook up more than 1 amp on a single voice coil

PS: Ive seen a dual voice coil sub with 4 amps hooked up to it in comps

It may be possible if you run both amps in series with the sub i.e. (pos.+ of first amp to pos.+ of sub./ neg.- of first amp to pos.+ of second amp/ neg.- of second amp to neg.- sub.) Seems to me like it might work, however I have never heard of anyone trying to do it. If the other guy that responded saw mutiple amps to a coil, like he said 4 amps to two coils, then that is the only way I can see it possible. Keep checking to see if my theory works, or try yourself at your own risk.

would running the amps in series affect the impedence of the sub?
