Talk about stupid

[DBR]

I placed my monitors in Bridge mode while they were piggybacked. I used one side today , it sounded real good. I piggybacked them afterwords..and not to my surprise..a distortion came from both monitors. Talk about stupid. I didn't push the amp past 3:00 and it still clipped that night. Talk about stupid. This was all done after I had rang the room and I was messing about with some cables and I must have hit the Bridge switch by accident and didn't bother to change it over to stereo. Talk about stupid. I discovered the adjustment when I went to plug the mons back in today. Talk about stupid. I got the correct cables today and I haven't checked out the entire system Talk about stupid. Just hope the amp doesn't like to be piggybacked. However, I don't think that will be the case. Talk about stupid.

Yup. You'll probably check twice next time...

 

What amp are you using?

Almost all amps don't bridge into the speakers just by "hitting the bridge switch" - they also require rewiring the speakers. So I rather doubt you actually bridged them. If you actually were clipping the amp:

#1> Don't use amps that don't have clip limiting .

#2> That would fry the HF drivers - bridged or not.

Thanks for the advice guys. One side of the amp is gone...all drivers are fine.
