The Bxi1606D is internally bridged. It makes it easier if ur running a pair of subs, cause than u dont have to wire the subwoofers togehter than hook it up to the amp. U can just use the 2 + and -'s and it'll bridge it for u. Thats why when u use it for 1 sub ur suppose to use the outter positive and the outer negative.

there's no bridging in a mono amp.

There are some dual mono's that are internally bridged, but those are rare.

A mono amp has a mono signal in and a mono signal out.

There's a lot more happening in a bridged amp.

If you're just running one speaker lead off a dual terminal mono amp it doesn't matter which (-) or which (+) you use, just pick one or the other.
