[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7626813, member: 629234"] sorry, i didn't mean to offend, i should have stated the analogy was intended to help the o.p. understand what is going on. buy strain, i'm referring to more wear on one side in the preamp input section, than the other. first thing the signal hits should be a resistor and capacitor, possibly switches/pot, before hitting one leg of an op-amp. many times i've seen the output common/neutral tied in with the input/output connections directly and indirectly. strain/wear is minimal, and you probably wouldn't notice in a mono anyways. the point was that you could achieve the same level of rca signal if you tap one speaker wire, or 2. o.p.- when it comes to rcas, there is a miniscule amount of current passed through the rcas, and so, for the point of argument, it is basically no current passed. where you pass current is through the power and sub connections. and yes, when you break it down, you can get the same max power with one rca turned up as with 2 rcas turned down [/QUOTE]
