4 channel to mono

[Jeb 10+ year member]

Is there anyway to bridge a 4 channel amp into a mono block amp? I have a 4125HCQ and am looking for a way to do this. Please help.

i don't think there is a way...i think u can only make it two channels

You could make it two channels, then use just one RCA input and split it to both inputs on the amp. But, even then, you need to be super duper careful that the gains are set exactly the same. In the end, I wouldn't do it.

Even if both gains were turned up all the way would it still be dangerous... I already have the RCA's split at the amp. What I am trying to do is I have a 4 channel Audiobahn amp that is 1 ohm stable and puts out 1000 x 2 at 1 0hm mono when it is bridged... I have to Audiobahn 1206T's that are dual 4 ohm voice coil and I managed to wire the speakers down to 1 ohm by wiring both togethor but after doing that I can't get my full 2000 watts from my amp.... Any other suggestions?

There is no way to wire a 4 channel amplifier into one channel unless the amp is designed from the outset for it (read one hella pricey amp). I can't remember actually coming across one in the last 20 years for that matter. Your 4 channel must be one of the HC series amps, if it is stable to 1 ohm on a set of bridged channels, that's great, use the amp in 3 channel mode, 2 channels to run the front or other speakers and the bridged channels to run the subs.
