[QUOTE="Z1NONLY, post: 7501439, member: 634086"] On a mono-block amps, both +'s are electronically a single + and the same goes for both negatives. They make them that way to simplify the connection of subs and manufacturing of the amp. It would be a PITA to connect four 12 gauge conductors from two subs to two holes on an amp. And since most manufactures have a few 2ch amps in their lineup, the connection point for "two positives and two negatives" are already in their proverbial parts bin. So they bridge the connections internally, use the end plate(s) from the same two channel amp, complete with RCA's and/or power connections, some different amp guts and maybe even a different size casing and TA-DA! They have a mono block amp with two +'s and two -'s [/QUOTE]
