2 Stereo amps to be used in Mono...hookup?


Hello..

Could one explain the hookup from the preamp? Does left channel out from pre have to be Y'd to the left and right input of that designated amp....Carver M500t manual states..make sure both inputs are connected...
A little confused...

Thx!

I forgot to ad in my last post.
If you have two of these stereo amps already, this vertical bi-amping arrangement, will give you the best sound, forget bridging.

This amp is said to have
8-ohm FTC rated power/ch251W
4-ohm FTC rated power/ch450W
2-ohm dynamic power/ch500W

Why would you need more power for a pair of Boston A200’s?

As by bridging it, that’s all you’ll get more watts in a P.A. sense, everything else will take a hit sound quality wise.

No all you gain is more wattage.

" all you gain is watts, distortion goes up, damping factor is reduced, stability into low impedance’s is reduced, and current ability is reduced. "Basically" you turn a good amp into a high wattage fair amp."
