Members Rippin' Robin Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 It refers to a stereo power amp that can also be run as a mono power amp with twice the voltage. The two amps are "bridged" together. Hang on - twice the wattage, not voltage For example - My DPC750 runs in stereo mode at 375 watts per side at 4 ohms minimum. I can bridge it, i.e., combine both channels to form one big mono power amp. It then pushes 750 watts (375 x 2) at 8 ohms minimum (4 ohms x 2). Do note that this is not simply done by tying both channels together! Think of it (stupendously simplified) as this: your left channel becomes the PLUS side of the amp, and the right channel becomes the MINUS side of the amp. Where first either channel had its own + and -. So, key points in bridging: TWICE the output power at TWICE the minimum load impedance. Hope this helps.

Members Rippin' Robin Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Damn right!!! Just thought of this one.. "YOU'VE BEEN HOOVERED" -When one stands corrected by L. Ron Hoover on such diverse subjects as occurring in the discussion of bass amplification in its broadest terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
