Good afternoon,
‘Hoping you can settle a gentleman’s bet for me. On one of your YouTube videos (cheap amp), you comment that a monoblock amp has multiple “outputs”. I have a few guys saying this is proof that a mono amp has multiple outputs.

For as long as I have tinkered with audio (40+ years), “outputs” of an amp refers to “channels” of amplification, and a mono amp has only ever had one channel, or one “output” no matter how many speaker terminals it has attached to it. I have never scene a circuit diagram for a mono amp that showed more than one final output.

The question: When you use the word “outputs”, are you using it in a technically accurate way, or are you using the term improperly since the standard use of “outputs” with regards to amplification means “channels”?

For a bonus question (not mentioned in your video): Would you consider (or call) the wires inside the amp that are connected to the speaker terminal block “bridged” to make the parallel connection?

Thanks for your time,
Enjoy your videos.

No I’m referring to the terminals allowing multiple connections (for speakers). The positives are together and negatives are together on the monoblocks.

I would not say bridged, I’d say they are paralleled.

So he'd even think your bs post stupid as fck 🤣🤣🤣
 
"What amp are you using? Car amps don't just have "double outputs" that are wired internally unless they are Pyramid crap type of equipment.
Multiple outputs means multiple channels. Leaving them unused means you have amplifier power not being used." - RobGMN on monoblock amps
 
It's pretty common to call speaker connections on a amp outputs...you're digging in the weeds to conflating output with channel...

I can tell someone I'm building a pc for in technical terms what does what...or I can use a more easily digested terms to get my point across...every industry is like that from nuclear physics to shoveling horse manure...big words are usually intended for the person saying them feel smart more often than spreading understanding...
You're missing the bigger picture that Thxone is a guy who is always talking about comprehension and tells us how he knows words better than the Oxford English Dictionary. Yet, he refers to speaker terminals as "outputs" and spliced wires as "bridged" int he context of amplifiers, while simultaneously trying to harp on me for telling a noob that a mono amp will not have multiple outputs and that multiple outputs will mean multiple channels.

I don't go for that "do as I say, but not as I do" shit. Never did. If he wants to proclaim his superiority to the editors of the OED, and to my skills with the language, then he sure as fvck should step up to the plate and demonstrate it. None of this "These are the words *I choose to use, which makes them right" bullshit.

If he wants to talk the talk, then he should walk the walk.
That's part of being a grownup.
Not once in over 40 times of asking him to back up what he says has he done so. Nor can he do so. THAT is sad and pathetic.

Hmmm, Eggs and Thxone thought his video proved me wrong. Yet he is saying a monoblock doesn't have multiple outputs and that connected wires are not "bridged".

WHO was it again who made those claims?
I'll give you a hint: He said his username has nothing to do with a certain amplifier of the same name, nor with Tomlinson Holman.

No missing the point...

You're deflecting hard that thx is wrong but somehow that statement above is right 🤣🤣🤣

And? Multiple outputs means multiple channels. If he has multiple outputs and is leaving them unused, then he is leaving power unused.
Do you disagree? Do you think if you leave a channel unused in a multichannel amp, the power magically flows to the other used channels?
