components and CL300

if I bridge my CL300 TO my components which are 4ohms svc course will the amp see 2ohms? CL300 = 75x2 @4ohms/110x1 @2ohms bridged

If you wired your components in parallel, then yes. Based on the specs you provided (I am not familiar with the amp personally) you would lose power by doing that. In four ohm stereo you are giving your components 75 watts each, for a total of 150 watts. They would split the 110 watts though and only get 55 each. You would also lose stereo capability and the front stage would be horrible.

It does appear that the specs you provided are a bit off, though. My guess would be more along the lines of 75x2 @ 4; 110x2 @ 2; and 220x1 @ 4 bridged. I would also suspect that the amp is not 1 ohm stereo/2 ohm mono stable.

****!!! I dont know what i was thinking!........... I just realize that. I bought the CL300 to power my components (they can handle 100watt rms) so I was just wondering if 75 watts will be ok for them, right now they are powered by my H/U which is 50x4

That will be plenty.

Oh and btw....that h/u rating of 50x4 is 50 watts MAX which means nothing. All you can expect out of a h/u diregarding the fact that it will be extremly distorted at this level would might be 12-15 watts rms. You will notice a difference in anything that is amped instead of running off of a h/u, I sure as hell did. From now on I say screw the h/u's internal amp, they ****.
