4 cahnnel amps, can you make 3 channel

[midge]

if you have a 1000w 4 channel amp can you run 2 channels at 250w and bridge the other 2 to make it 500w.

so you have 2 x 250w and 1 x 500w

It depends on the amp, but yes that is the way it would be done.

 

[Dink]

yeah 99% of 4 channel amps can be run like that

 

[dangermouse_se]

Except you wont get the same power split across the two channels.

Youll probably end up with 2 x 220, 1 x 500 or there abouts depending on the amp.

 

[Dink]

well it depends on the load

eg 4x180w @ 4 ohm
4x250w @ 2 ohm
2x500w @ 4 ohm


so if you say are running a set of 4 ohm comps and a 4 ohm sub you would get about 2x180w and 1x500w
