Bridging amps.


Can anyone tell me how to bridge two mono amps together to make a single more powerful amp. I have two Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks. I want to get two more and use two per side for the woofer towers of my Infinity Beta speakers. The woofer controller has plus and minus phase outputs.

this is not a question of "bridging" (which involves using two or more stereo amps as monoblocs) but one of bi- tri- or quad-amping. first, you'll need a preamp, or direct source with volume control, that has 2 pair of outputs or more, fairly unusual unless you use single-ended and balanced simultaneously (not recommended). second, you'll need a pair (presumed) of speakers that are bi- or tri-ampable (your infinity bass towers do NOT appear to be bi-ampable). then it's just a matter of impedence matching and purchasing a sufficient number of (matching, i should hope) speaker cables.
