i have a precision power dcx 1000.1 amplifier. it's a monoblock by the way... can that amplifier be bridged? it's currently set up like this:

(-)(+)(+)(-) <- those are the speaker terminals.

fcm is exactly right. you can't bridge an amp that has only one channel. the point of being a mono amp is so you can put all the power to the sub(s).

 

Thanks for the conformation, but the point of a mono block amp is that it is only one channel, and even though they are marketed as sub amps, and some can only be used as lowpass amps, you only need mono for sub bass, there is little or no left right separation at sub bass frequencies, that does not mean you can't use mono block amps on highpass, one for the right channel and one for the left channel, I have done that lots of times, even 5 mono blocks one each for left and right front and one each for left and right rear, and one for the sub/subs, but then you can also use a 2ch amp on one side, [bi amping] one channel to the mid. and the other to the tweeter, [works best with 2ch amps that have both "left and right" gain controls. 94
