Hello everybody .
I need some advice again 🙂 ok so I have this amplifier and I built a quick mock up to test this amplifier .
my ac transformer is a 24-0-24 the amp runs ok but it hum too much for my liking . dc offset on each channel is 0,35
what I did do was connect the + terminal to the right channel and the negative to the left channel output on the amplifier and ran it to one speaker ( mono mode ) The sound improved so so much my reaction was wow and the noise floor dropped so much .
The output of the amplifier decreased as well as in volume is this because how I have wired on speaker up has that changed the ohms from 8 - 4 ohm
also how I see it - when bridging the 2 channels together is that using all the smoothing caps for one channel ( hence less noice or ripple )
this is the amplifier in question

Please pull the mains plug, fast.
Offset is too high. Maybe you screwed up on the transformer leads.
I do not see how you could run this amp bridged without an additional symmetric driver stage. Bridged amps get more loud, not less.
You just connected something intentionally totally wrong.
You do not experiment with amps. All you can do this way is blow them.
Hum is produced if you connect ground lines the wrong way. Not the amps, but your fault. These are parts, not finished amps and you need some basic knowledge to build something working from them.
You do not change anything with the smoothing caps that reduces hum. This is a "+34V 0V -34V" power supply, bridged or single ended.
Maybe post some good pictures of your construction, showing all details, so we can tell you what you got wrong.
