Simple and basic explanation of how bridging an amplifier gives you a lot more power! This is ideal for running subwoofers or if you have separate amplfiers for left/right speakers. Overview: - Stereo amps are basically two mono amplifiers in one box, working indipendantly. (some are only linked by a single volume knob) - Bridge-Mono amplifiers work by inverting the signal of the 2nd amp, and using both positive terminals in a push/pull duet to effectivley create double the power. This however is only stable at higher ohm loads and youll rarely see an amp that is 2ohm bridge stable. - Bridge parallel amplifiers work by combining both amps to push the same load together. This basically means each amp has to work less hard because there are two of them, meaning that the ohm load can be halved that of the rating of each single amp. For example, if each side delivers 400W at 4ohms, then in parallel mono you can have 800-850W at 2ohms. This is only effective if youre only powering one woofer; if youre powering two or more than you may as well use both channels separately unless the speakers are 8ohms and you want to lower the impedance to utilise more power.
