When you bridge an amp you halve its impedance rating so an amp that is stable into 1 ohm will be stable into 2 ohms bridged is the way I have always heard it described. The purpose of high power is to handle the peaks in music, a speaker rated for 50 watts might handle several hundred for a very short time. When you will get into trouble is feeding a lot of power into the speaker for an extended time.Why not go with something like the McCormick 500 which is a bridged design to begin with? It should have all the power you will ever need and if not you could add another and biamp? I have a CJ 350 and declined my friends request to try it on his Sasha, which get down below 2 ohms. The McCormick is also made by CJ and in talking to them recently they told me that the McCormick is their choice for raw power.
Can you overpower a speaker
Hi there I am curious if it is possible to overpower a speaker. I want to bridge 2 200 watt a channel amps that are stable to one ohm into a pair of legacy focus 20/20's or a pair of mezzo utopias.
Id love to go VTL MB450's but man thats expensive, im sure worth it. I have read up and down the conrad johnson mf 200 is 2 and one ohm stable and if it can be bridged would put out whatever the wall will allow. I want ungodly amounts of power is that so bad? will it work.
