SPEAKER CONNECTIONS (BRIDGED)
The California amplifiers are capable of being bridged in a mono configuration. This feature allows you the flexibility of using the amplifier to drive a ** subwoofer or a center channel. In this configuration the amplifier sums the right and left channel to deliver one channel (mono) output.
Please note: in order for the amplifier to sum right and left signal information, both right and left RCA connections must be made.
**CAUTION! In the bridged mode, the amplifier must see a 4 Ohm load or higher. Any lower than 4 Ohms will cause the amplifier to overheat and possibly cause permanent damage to the amplifier!
