[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 559199, member: 556589"] Actually all of that was mostly wrong. Impedence/resistance is NOT set by the amp. The speaker sets the resistance or OHM load going to the amp, depending on how the speaker was made to run (2 ohms, 4, 6, 8, 16 etc..). By bridging your amp, no resistance or OHM load is set until you hook up a speaker. In your case you'll get a 4 ohm load. No amp splits resistance... thats just silly. Bridging means you're combining two channels into one hence the term MONO. Your amp going into protection mode is probably because of a bad ground, or your wiring in parallel.. not in series. Making the final load less than 4 ohms. [/QUOTE]
