Bridging 2 Amps together

just wondering if it is possible to bridge two different amps together
I have a

JL Audio e1200 mono AMP (200x1)

and a

MTX Thunder 6304 Multichannel AMP with rear two channels bridged (150x1)

anyway I can bridge these two amps together? I'd like my 'newly fixed Kicker L7' to get 350 watts instead of just the 200 as of right now... =-) any help would be magnificent

After reading this, I can only wonder why the L7 had to be "fixed". I think if you try this you will be fixing some more equipment. Amps that can be "strapped" together have to be designed for that capability. I would think anyone who has an L7 would want to have the proper amplification for it. A mono amp like you are asking about can be had for $150-200 easy from an authorized dealer. And, by the way, a sub doesn't have to be powered by its RMS rating to sound great.

It'll say if your amps or strappable, but deffinitly don't strap two amps of diffrent models, much less brands.

the L7 was in a car accident... which tore the paper underlying part for it... and I had to use Plumber's Goop to repair it.. and save myself some money...

so I am guessing the short answer is no?

Do not even try it or you will get the wonderful odor of burning amps. You will most likely fry the amps and possibly the sub.
