[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3025399, member: 561023"] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] WTF????? Sorry to inform you of this, Famous_78 ~ your opinion would be 100% incorrect. [I]From our friends at Dictionary.com:[/I] [B]mono[/B] [I]adjective[/I]1. designating sound transmission or recording or reproduction over a single channel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mono [ˈmonəu] adjective (of records, record-playing equipment [I]etc[/I]) using one channel only; not stereo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [B]mono-[/B] or [B][FONT=arial]mon-[/FONT][/B] [I]pref.[/I] [LIST=1] [*]One; single; alone: [I]monomorphic.[/I] [*]Monomolecular; monatomic: [I]monolayer.[/I] [*]Containing one atom, molecule, or group: [I]monomer.[/I] [/LIST] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As has been stated multiple times already - a monoblock, by [B]definition[/B] (see above examples) is a single-channel unit. Consequently it [I]cannot[/I] be bridged seeing as the act of bridging an amplifier requires combining [I]two separate channels[/I] into a single, more powerful channel. While it is true that not all monoblock amplifiers are of a Class D circuitry topology this has absolutely nothing to do with bridging or not bridging it - that only has to do with the way the amp in question was built. Because it is very common for people to run a mutiple-driver substage using a single monoblock amp to power it more and more mono amps are being manufactured with multiple speaker output terminals. [B][I]This is for nothing more than to aid in ease of installation[/I][/B] so that the end user isn't having to try and cram multiple speaker leads into a single set of outputs on the amp. These multiple sets of terminals lead to the same [I]single channel[/I] output circuitry inside the amp. By using both sets of terminals you are not "bridging" the amp. You are simply using the tools the amp manufacturer was kind enough to provide you. Having rambled on about all of that - re-read 45auto's post found above. It was dead-on target in its entirety.
