[QUOTE="KaeZoo, post: 1599795, member: 554753"] Balancing a signal all the way to the right doesn't increase the output on the right channel (compared to having the balance centered). It just attenuates the left channel. Were that not true, then an amplifier would never put out its full rated power when playing both channels at once. When you connect a mono amplifier to a LOC wired to the left and right speakers, it's really no different than connecting it to the front or rear pre-outs on a head unit, which is done all the time. The only difference is that it's not possible for a left and right pre-out to be out of phase with each other. It is possible to wire a LOC so the outputs are out of phase, and the result would be what he's describing. [/QUOTE]
