Yes. I have stated that you are much more learned than I. But, we are saying the same thing. I am ONLY talking about bridging the amp with his 2ohm load. When bridged, I am calling it 1ohm. That might be an incorrect term, but it HAS to be 1ohm stable to do that.annunaki said:WRONG!
The amp must be stable to 2 ohms MONO. Tell me how the amp changes 2 ohms to 1. It is NOT possible. All you are doing is internally summing the voltage from the left and right channels.
Of course his amp cannot drive both speakers in parallel. The amp is only stable to 4 ohms mono not 2 ohms mono.
An amplifier that is stable to 2 ohms stereo (if bridgeable) is almost always only stable to 4 ohms mono.
An amplifier stable to 1 ohm stereo (which is very rare) is again, almost always stable to 2 ohms mono.
I think we are on the same track just looking at it from different angles. If using a bridgeable amplifier he would nned to look for one stable to 1 ohm stereo. If using a mono amplifier he would need one stable to 2 ohms.
What he really needs is a 500 watt rms class D mono amplifier stable to 2 ohms (which most if not all are).
