| Bridging, matching +, what impedance? - Click HERE for Original Thread |

I have my gainclone with 37.5vdv from the rectifier, so it is good for 8ohm speakers, but I want to try to put the two positives together and the two negatives together , kinda bridging to use it as a sub amp in my room for a little bit, I want to see how my sub would sound in my room. My sub is an e13kv.2 and has dual 2 ohm vc. I have them in a series to have 4ohm, but can my amplifier work when "bridged" on a 4ohm speaker?
Thanks,
Josh |

| That's not bridging, it's paralleling. It will work, but you will need to put load sharing resistors on the outputs to avoid current hogging and "Bang!" |

So pretty much I can't try out my sub in my room with my GC?
Thanks Guys |

Im not sure about "brians new 3886" but it should work with the 3886 chip at 37.5 volt. |

| Try it with just one channel, it may be louder than you think. But make sure you have a decent heatsink! |

Maybe you could use drv134 to drive the two positive and the two negatives |
