you bridge an output on amplifier to get the power of both channels(stereo)
into one(mono) output. you run your speakers in either series or parallel to
get either a 4 ohm or 2 ohm load. a 2 ohm load will allow twice the amperage
to pass through the amp as a 4 ohm load would. watts are a product of volts
times amps. you halve the load you double the amps you double the watts.
the speakers can handle the power they can handle. if you put two 4 ohm
loads in parallel with each other and connect it to the amp in mono the amp
will see a two ohm load and will push twice the amps it would to a 4 ohm load
and give you twice the watts out of the outputs but... each of the speakers
will see half of the watts produced buy the amp.
is this making sense to you? the only difference between putting one four
ohm speaker on each channel and running the speakers in parallel on mono is
that the speakers work together to drive the air as a team.
