For a bridged amplifier (rated at 25 watts per channel)
driving a nominal 4 ohms load, the voltage is doubled and
the output power is quadrupled:
(28 volts x 0.707)2÷4 Ohms) = 97.97 Watts
As this example illustrates, a 25 watt amplifier can provide
100 watts of power in the bridged mode, for a noticeable
increase in bass performance.
CAUTION
- Limitations in the amplifier
power supply and heatsink dissipation
will always reduce the available power.
Therefore, the realized power output
increases will generally be less than four times the
amplifier’s power output.
Although bridging is the best way to maximize bass
output, check the amplifiers manual to make sure if it is
capable of driving a 2 ohm load, and that it is not
already bridged internally.
