RF851X bridgeing question

[PollyCranopolis 10+ year member]

I have a RF851x 4 chan. 110x4@4, 215x4@2, and 425x2@4(bridged mono).

I have (2) 4ohm, SVC, 15' woofers.

If I would bridge BOTH woofers on one half of the amp, I take it the amp would see a 2 ohm bridged load instead of 4ohm bridged?

In theory, I would be asking the amp to put out like 800watts, bridged one side?

I'm asuming this would be a BAD thing, but I just wanted to check as the amp is stable to 2ohm.

I'm assuming however this only applies to stereo output, not bridged mono which is rated 425x2@4?

This amp is stable to 2 ohm stereo and not 2 ohm mono. Should you decide to wire it the way you are suggesting, expect bad things to happen to the amplifier as you are making it operate beyond it's design specifications.

Cool. All I needed to know. Spanks!
