Would it be better to run my amp bridged ?

Silver Member Username: GoatinU.S.A Post Number: 774 Registered: Jan-06 | I have 2 4ohm R's wired to 2ohm on 2 CH. My amp is supposed to be 600 X 2 @ 2ohms If it is bridged it is supposed to be I think 1200-1600 RMS Cant remember exactly @ 4ohms. So would it be better to run them bridged or does it make a difference?? |

Power will be equal -- 600x2 at 2 = 1200x1 at 4, but what you'll gain is eliminating the slight stereo differences which may result in some loss of output. Any improvment would probably be unnoticable to minor, but of the two options I'd prefer bridged. |
