Bridged 4 channel amp ..
Question is those that are using a Nvx mvpa4 or a JL mx 280x4 in a bridge configuration are you running one set of rca to one channel on amp and running amp in two channel mode and if you are wired this way are you getting stereo output or mono output ???
Or are you using y splitters out of both channels of amp and splitting one channel of head unit to each input and running in 4 channel mode and getting stereo output ?
Which way is the correct way to run a 4 channel amp when bridged ?

Am I in the weeds?

that would make sense. In 2 channel mode, once the input is replicated to the other channel the amp doesn't know how you are wiring it (bridged). In that case you are bridging a left and right input vs two lefts and two rights like the diagram.

Yep, Mono is basically pushing same exact signal to each speaker. A lot of the stereo related differences IMHO will be in the recording aspect of the music. Beatles just used wide open mono thus same sound to all speaks but as production matured u will get various mixing strategies to different locations in a system. On a sled at 80, not even noticeable but a bit lower on the spedo you might notice it.
Just anther detail on the very damn long list that may or may not matter to various folks.

I wouldn't want it mono. Some groups use a left /right pan so heavily in production (Led Zepplin comes to mind) that missing either the left or right side of the signal will literally make the music cut out until the producer pans to the middle or back to the side of the signal your using.
One is for stereo (for our motorcycle applications) and one is for mono (when running 2 sub woofers for example).
The attached detail from the JL owners manual show you how to wire it both ways. Please note that the Channel Selector Switch is a different position in each application.
Using the the lower wiring diagram:
...Set the Channel Selector to "4"
...Install RCA "Y" adapters as shown to connect from your radio (or Line Leveler) to the amp
...Wire the speakers as shown.
Voila! You now have front speakers running from a bridged amp in STEREO.
By the way: Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love" would suck in Mono!
