Rockford 800a2

I bought this off a guy who said it worked bridged. Apparently the left positive channel is blown. So i bridged it and he was right but what i realized was i had it on both negative terminals, how does that work and is it safe to run it that way? The right channel works in stereo. Thanks

Does it actually worked bridged (L+ and R-)?

Connected as you have it is the same as running it off of only one channel. The L- and R+ are directly connected inside the amp.

Ill have to hook it back up tomorrow. I think i tried all 3 ways and one has like barely any sound and one has just static. So hooking it up L- and R- is ok, good to know. Thank you for the response
