Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10768 Registered: Dec-03 | umm, bridging an amp just puts the same power into one channel at 4 ohms as it would into two channels at 2 ohms. distortion and heat will be the same. man there's a lot of misinformation floating around about car audio. Sometimes it's hard for anyone to get a clear answer about something it seems. here's some very specific information on bridging an amplifier, and exactly how it works: http://www.bcae1.com/bridging.htm |
