[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2479853, member: 549629"] To an amplifier, 2ohm stereo and 4ohm mono are exactly the same thing. Output will be the same, because to the amp it IS the same. As a matter of fact, when bridged the amp is simply splitting the impedance between the two channels (and thus the output). When bridging an amp, you pull one leg off each channel, and each channel takes half the load (impedance). So, when bridging to an 8ohm mono load, each channel will see half that... 4ohms. This is why the amplifier still sees a 4ohm stereo load, even when bridged mono, and is why output is exactly the same between each of the two setups. In other words, running each coil to its own channel will result in exactly the same power output as running it bridged mono at 8ohms. Incorrect. If you wire each 4ohm coil to its own channel on the amp, that's 4ohms to each channel... why would you think that's running at 2ohms stereo? Your Sony did not work that way, you are mistaken.
