2 or 3 Channel System:

Here we show how to use the 4 channel amplifiers as a 3 channel unit by taking advantage of the mono bridging capability of all MB Quart amplifiers. In order to create a 2 channel system, simply follow the example to also mono bridge channel pair 1/2. Interconnect cable checklist:

-Connect the inputs of channel pair 1/2 to a suitable stereo source, e.g. a head unit with good quality RCA cables.

-A MONO signal source is required to bridge channel pair 3/4, such as would be available from the mono sub bass output of an active crossover, whether standalone, or built into a head unit or equalizer. If you only have 1 set of RCA outputs from your headunit, you can simply connect those to the inputs for ch 1/2 and switch the MODE to 2ch. The amplifier will auto sum the signal and provide mono output for bridged channels 3/4.

Important: Do not be tempted to connect the hot, or positive outputs, from any source together to obtain a mono signal, as this could very well damage the output stage of that source.

-It is necessary to feed the SAME signal to both left and right inputs via a Y-adapter RCA cable.

-Connect the mono speaker positive terminal to the Ch4 +, and its negative terminal to Ch3 - as shown.
