[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8232192, member: 655960"] Your amp is stable at 2Ω per channel but when you bridge two amplifier channels into one, each channel sees only half the impedance load of the bridged pair. Thus, if you bridge your amp into three channels and you use three 4Ω drivers, each of the 6 individual channels will be seeing a 2Ω load. What your friend is telling you to do would cause each amplifier channel to see only 1Ω, which would cause the JL amp to shut down. [/QUOTE]
