I have two 18v-0-18v 160VA transformers and i want to connect them together to get 18v-0-18v and 320VA. they both are the same make/model etc. they both have dual secondries. should i use dual bridges?

I'd use separat bridges and PS caps. One transformer per chanel. Theis way no interference between the chanels and the amps always see 1000.0 uF per rail (If 1000uF is your choice).

As I understand it, if you hook them up that way there can be some issues with one transformer feeding power into the other at times, You would be better off to hook them up after the rectifiers I think.

my amp will have 6 channels (as posted in another thread).

OK,

then you can attach 3 amplifiers to the first transformer en the other 3 amplifiers to the second transformer. (Just like GregC said, but then 3 amplifiers for each transformer)

I don't know what the other thread is, but

if it's for a 5.1 amplifier:
Transformer 1: Front-Left, Rear-Left, Front-Center
Transformer 2: Front-Right, Rear-Right, Sub

if it's for stereo, but tri-amped:
Transformer 1: all channels for left
Transformer 2: all channels for right.
You could also use Transformer 1 to feed the bass-amplifiers for both speakers, and Transformer 2 for mid & high of both the speakers.

Grtz, Joris
