  • Answer:

    you gotta be careful with that stuff. you really need to know what you are doing when you start getting into bridging amps and going down real low with your ohm loads.

if its a 2 channel amp @4Ohm/channel, and you have 2 speakers @4Ohms, then its best to simply run 1 channel/speaker at a low gain setting...unless they are subs, in which case, you'd start the gain low, and crank until you hear distortion in the subs, then back it off slightly (also works for speakers, but higher chance of blowing them)

YOU CAN SIMPLY DO IT,IF IT IS A BRIDGABLE AMP.if not it is not possible to bridge the amps together,any way, if tried it will take your amp with it.i cant simply explain why because you must study the circuits well.a bridgable amp is designed to bridge in a specific need, so it need some common factors in nature.it will consume more current, than one, so you need a good source of power supply unit.if your amp is a bridgable type,reffer ita manual, to get a proper idea about wiring.
