Looking to replace my Klipsch pro 15s with 2 KMPS larger subs, wondering the best way to connect in bridged mode

  • To whom more was given more will be required.
    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

Connect an stereo amp in bridge?
Speakers are connected in Series or Parallel.

You didn't say what equipment was, some amps cannot be bridged, check with the manufacturer.

With 2 subs why would you want to?
Run the amp stereo or dual mono (if using a mono output).

Unless the VMPS subs are free, what do you think you'll gain by having them in your system? VMPS is long gone with little to no replacement parts available. I don't see an upgrade here.

For the subs replacement parts are probably not an issue.  The amps are Dayton and readily available, drivers are off-the-shelf as well.  OTOH I agree the price should be low, since an experienced cabinet maker can build these.  Whether they would be an improvement I can't say, since I don't know the current subs; the Larger Subs may be as big or bigger than those main speakers
