[QUOTE="SPL140.2, post: 849900, member: 559635"] This is from bladeice.com--->You will then need a digital voltage meter and a clamp on ammeter. Set both to peak as it's the same. At 1 Hz intervals measure the in box impedance by playing that note and measuring the voltage and current. Impedance = voltage/amperage. Once you have a chart of the in box impedance it is possible to experiment with the wiring. So if at 60 Hz your in box impedance is making each amp 'see' 8 ohms, and by adjusting the wiring you can make the amps 'see' 2 ohms bridged (if that's what they're designed for) you suddenly have 4* the power, or to put it another way a 6dB gain before power compression.
