this is what i was refering to in my first reply for those who didnt understand what i said.

From the manual -

NOTE: In Bridge-Mono mode, only the Channel 1 level control is functional.


This is not the only model or manufacturer that does this. The channel 2 level control can be set at 0 or at max - it doesn't matter.
ok , my bag , i havent used amps where that was the case.

Okay, so I searched through the threads here to try and answer my question before coming to you guys.  This was as close as I could come, so if you can just clarify my questions/answers within the quote, in bold, that would be great!  Thanks!

I'm planning on running xti4000s bridged, one per sub.  And xti2000s bridged, one per mid.


You really should read the manual before offering advice on any topic.

From the XTI manual:

pg 25:  CH1+CH2 (Ch.1 input signal and Ch. 2 input signal are
summed and fed to both output channels.) This provides a
6 dB level boost.

If I go this route, I get 6 db of boost.  Both output channels are hot, and both level controls will be used?  Do I also have to plug into both inputs?  So if I plug either (1) 4 ohm load into either output A or B, I'll get the same as if I plug an 8 ohm load into output A and B separately?  Is there any other purpose for running it this way other than the 6 dB boost?


• INPUT Y (Ch. 1 input signal goes to Ch. 1 and Ch. 2
output. Ch. 2 input signal is ignored.)

This is the usual way most older amps were run bridge mono?  Input into Channel One, Output from channel One?  Channel Two is not used at either input as stated above or output?

pg 26:  BRG (Bridge-mono or Stereo): Use this option to set
the amplifi er to bridge-mono or stereo mode. When BRIDGE
is active, the Ch. 1 input signal is used (unless you made an
alternate setting with the Y processing block).

In this BRIDGE setting, they are using the Input Y setting as described above, unless you change it as they say in the processing block?

gp





Input Y would be the logical/simplest way to go when bridging one amp to one speaker?  At the current time, I won't be using any of the other onboard processing.

Thanks!
