Hello,

I always see people posting comments about bridging speakers. Then when I look google "bridging speakers" it always talk about bridging Subs or just one speaker. So, My question is : how are people bridging their speakers in the fairing and so on.With a four channel amp and trying to bridge the fairing, where does that leave the lower fairing speakers?

Also, when people talk about supplying more voltage to the amp or speakers, how is that done?

 

What amp and speakers are you using?

 

^^^^^What he said^^^^^^

Depending on just what amp and what speakers you are running you may not need to bridge your amp.

 

Rockford Fosgate DSR-1 ,Sony XAV-AX 5000- Arc 600.4 in the faring along with Hertz Mille Pro 6.5 upper fairing. the lower fair has Moto 602's 6.5 mid-bass speakers parallel with JL 6.5 ( C2- 650 ) in TP, NVX 1000.4 amp in TP connected to (Hertz Mille Pro 6x9) in lids and JL audio 6x9 (c2-690-xt) inside the bags.

This is what is listed as his equip

 

This would be correct. Not to say I wanted to do that, but how are people doing it is what I don't understand. this may be something I could look at in the fall.....

 

I would like to know when to bridge and when not to bridge. but I gather it depends on the setup.

 

Guys that are bridging amps in their setups, planned out their setups beforehand with this in mind. It's not something you can just decide to do one day to your 8-10 speaker system without completely re-evaluating your amp to speaker setup.

 

You need the right speaker resistance and the right amp to handle that resistance when bridged.

This comes into play especially with the SD amps.
That 800.4 (2ohm)
If you hook up (4) 4ohm speakers, you are getting 61 watts each. So 244 watts out of 800 possible..Not good..

But if you wire (2) 4ohm speakers in parallel and run that amp bridged you get 200 watts per speaker in mono vs stereo.


Look at the red dot ratings.

This is why SBates said to plan this out, or you will have mismatched gear and leave alot of power on the table.

I was just wondering, Hey guys. thanks for the information.

 

Let make see if I understand this concept.
SO for example, of I was was to run my Arc in bridge mode j would parallel the fairing speakers both upper and lower ,upper on 1&2, lower 3&4 .that would be 300 and 300 for a total of six hundred. Well the arc is 150 par channel anyway, so what is the difference? Just trying to figure out when and with not too.
