I think you are hung up on words only having the meaning you want.

Show me where parallel wiring is known as “bridged” in car audio.
Show me where a mono amplifier has multiple outputs at the final stage in car audio.

You have done your best many time to make words mean what you WANT them to (witness your ridiculous attempts to change the meaning of “in” to support your opinion that there are no nerves in bone).

Words have meaning. If you want to argue that they don’t and can mean whatever you want them to, that’s probably a different discussion.

You didn't use the term "bridging" in your dumb-dumb post. You can play word games all you want, but literally everyone else who replied to that thread understood the question, so you're either dumb or socially awkward. Which is it?

Try to keep up. Thxone spoke of his internally bridged monoblock amp three times. Even included a picture once.

I'm not thxone and nothing he says excuses how dumb your topic-starter post was.

It wasn’t a topic starter. It was a response to someone who was posting partial and incorrect info while trying to get an answer.

You referenced the thread, but seem to have forgotten this post. What does it say about terminals vs outputs?

As far as amps go...terminal is frequently exchanged with output...literally nobody but you had any issue helping the guy and what he was asking ..you made a dumbaśś post and just won't admit it

When you have two positive wires or negative wires and you want to make them one wire you can use any of these words to describe how you will join them.

Solder
Splice
Join
Bridge
Twist

Let me show you something Rob. Synonyms for Bridge:

2 (noun) in the sense of link
They saw themselves as a bridge to peace.
Synonyms
link
tie
bond
connection


3 (verb) in the sense of connect
It is unlikely that the two sides will be able to bridge their differences.
Synonyms
connect
join
link

Like I said, the connections are bridged internally. The two positives are joined together inside the amp to make one positive. The same for the negative. Still want to argue? Cause these synonyms are easily found with Google and along with definitions. Not one person here other than yourself has argued the bridging of the amplifier from multiple channels to one. Not one person.

Your follow-up post suggests you know you said something really stupid, then tried to backtrack. Again, nobody else had a problem understanding the question, so you're either stupid or socially awkward. You like to get wrapped up in words and think that a misplaced comma nullifies arguments. If your vocabulary is so vast that other people can't understand you, how is that a good thing?

Nobody has ever spliced wires and said they "bridged" them. If you used the term wrong, own it.

I have said it myself. I have heard other people say it. I have seen other people do it. To bridge something doesn't just mean to bridge an amplifier. Terminology and speech vary from place to place. Just because you have not used the term in that way does not mean others haven't. Like calling a Coca Cola a Soda in Florida but calling it Pop in Ohio. Both terms reference the same thing. I am bridging these wires together. I am splicing these wires together. Both phrases mean exactly the same thing.

I agree bridging something doesn't always mean the same as bridging an amplifier, but when you're talking about an amplifier (or electronics in general) the term is very specific and not synonymous with "connecting". Bridging amps involves using the positive wave from one half-bridge amp and the negative from another half-bridge amp to double the potential, if I'm not mistaken.

Not trying to argue. I appreciate the dialog. Check out a full wave bridge rectifier if you're curious about the concept.

I understand. That's why I was specific to Rob about the terminals themselves and not bridging the amplifier channels. He chooses to ignore 99.4% of what I say so he can argue. He could have easily said "I prefer to call it _____________ when speaking about speaker output terminals." But that's not his agenda. He wants to argue. It's fine. I am fine talking about something else anyway.

Brother, you can voice your opinions with me all you like. I have no problem understanding the majority of your post.

Technically, you're using bridge correctly, however given that we bridge amps it would be best to not to use bridge as you did.

Keep failing, dummy. No one in the audio world would ever say two wires connected together are “bridged” unless they wanted to look like a fvcking dope.
No one who has a clue thinks a terminal bus creates multiple “outputs” from a mono amp.
Show me one example of anyone in electronics or electrical engineering saying they “bridged” two wires when connecting them together.

Look up “bridge” when used in terms of electronics. I’ll give examples that you will say are fake, so search them yourself:

It's a giant cluster phuck. I'm not sure WTF Rob was talking in the original quote. Thx is conflating "bridged" (purposely?).

If you think using words properly and knowing and understanding common words is a bad thing, perhaps YOU are the problem?

Having knowledge and being able to hold a conversation is one of the reasons I’m NOT socially awkward. I try to understand at least a little about a lot so I’m not the guy at the party who has a blank stare when someone brings up a topic.

I recently met a nuclear physicist who started talking about targeted radiation therapy using 3-D coordinates. I immediately understood at least some of what he was talking about, because I had an oncologist explain it to me years before.
Thanks to some education and memory, I was able to offer more than just “wow”.

Are you proud to be the guy who can’t hang in a conversation?
