[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5556431, member: 540940"] It's still 8 ohms, but when you bridge the amp into a single load the impedance is effectively "shared" by the two channels so you get the combined 4 ohm stereo power (200x2 or 400w total) into the ONE 8 ohm load. The same way bridging the amp into a 4 ohm load gets you 2 ohm stereo power (250x2 or 500w total) combined into one load. And with your amp not gaining a whole lot of power going from 4 ohms stereo to 2 ohms stereo you're not losing much. FWIW - running it at 4 ohms stereo - one coil per channel - will work too. IMO bridging is preferable because it removes the possibility of getting different signals to each coil. [/QUOTE]
