Bridging
All two-channel
POWERCLASS
™
amplifiers are capable of being
bridged into a 4 ohm mono output without switches or bridging
modules. This feature permits the creation of a mono channel
for a subwoofer or center channel.
Deriving the mono channel is accomplished by using the left
channel positive wire as the positive speaker wire and the right
channel negative wire as the negative speaker wire.
NOTE: It is important that a minimum 4 ohm impedance is
observed. If the impedance drops below 4 ohms while the
amplifier is wired in the bridged configuration, the amplifier's
protection circuitry (AM IV) may engage.
Using 16 gauge or larger, run the speaker wires from the
amplifier location through the vehicle to the speakers. Observe
the same precautions for routing these wires that you followed
for running the power and remote turn-on wires. Cut off excess
and, using wire strippers, strip 1/4 inch of insulation. Locate
the speaker/remote turn-on
PowerLock
connector. Loosen
the four outer screws on the underside of the connector. Insert
the speaker leads into the end. Check to be sure you've
maintained proper polarity before securing each wire, and plug
the
PowerLock
into the amplifier.
