2 outputs on Mono?

[kuijo 10+ year member]

I know i've seen the answer for this, but i didn't let it sink in cause it wasn't a problem to me at the time.

I searched and searched and couldn't find it again so could someone help me out on this real quick?

I just got a mono amp in and it has to sets of + and - outs on it? Why is there more then one and could i use both?

Would it be like wiring it in parallel if i did or would i just **** something up?

Thanks for your time

Does anyone that own a viper use both channels? I don't know if i can full power if i use just one of the terminals.

But if i hook up a 2 ohm load to each channel, will the amp be pushing a 1 ohm load?

It's bridged internally. You can use 1 positive and 1 negative, but don't use all of them at the same time.

then whats the point of having 2?

It is bridged internaly, and there's two terminals for ease of installation/wireing. So yes you can use both at the same time, it just depends on the final ohm load. You are correct, it will see 1 ohm.

but if i use just one side and hook the subs up to a 1 ohm load and leave the other to terminals alone the amp will still produce full power to the 2 subs?
