Actually, you missed my point. Let's try again...

Normally, bridging two channels gets you more power than just the sum of the two channels. Bridging two 90-watt channels of an F550 gets you 250 watts. (90 x 2 is only 180, so 250 is more ) That's NOT the case with PDX amps: you bridge two 100 watt channels, you get 200 watts.

Ok... This is hard here... (Normally true, but not always... There are many amps like this)

Screw it... Im not arguing this further... There is a point youre missing... And its the way amps work.

hmm i suppose that could be so? to much pull from the alternator causing a large drag on the engine creating fuel economy loss? to many ppl briding pdx amps and getting crazy power and hurting fuel economy. thats it, just looked it up.

fellas fellas fellas, I think we have accomplished what I asked for in this thread.

No need to meet at the tire swings at 3:00 after school. We'll all here to help each other. I appreciate all the posts but lets put this horse out to pasture.

Agreed?
