question about bridging?

[grovers7200]

Hello all I have a question? I am still quite cheap and haven't bought a new set of speakers as I just can't quite let go of my cerwin vega at 15's!! So I purchaced a carver m-1.ot and it just jams them! Question is they want more as I like loud and the vegas just blast. Now can I buy another carver and hook them together to get the loud I want?? If I can how do I hook them together and to the pre-amp?? Thank you..

You generally can't bridge two separate amps together, however there are a few that are designed this way, so you'd have to check the manual to see if these guys can do this.

You bridge channels, not amps. If the amps have a bridge mode switch, you would flip that, connect the speakers according to the indication and use the input marked for bridge mode, usually the left one.

Speakers can't 'want' more power. Also, if you listen to it too loud, for too long, you won't be able to hear a damn thing.
