[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7857040, member: 576029"] Because bridging combines the non-inverted and inverted signals, the voltage on each channel is half what it would be if you were non-bridged to achieve the same voltage across the load. Voltage seen across the speaker is the same, so power is the same. But what matters in terms of distortion is how hard you are driving each channel. Bridging is easier on the amp. Output current is less and voltage on each channel is less to achieve the same power as a non-bridged configuration. Does this make sense to everyone or should I sketch something up? I can do that for the cause. This is a common topic. [/QUOTE]
