I have four MA-500 monoblock amps that I using to power four 12" Crystal Audio & Video drivers. They drivers are rated 4ohm and up to 400W, but the amp they came with was a 200W RMS. The monoblocks I drive them are 180W into a 4 ohm load. This might be a silly question but do I loose or gain anything by running two of the 12" drivers with two bridged monoblocks? If I could do so I could use the speaker plates in my HT and try and run the amps in my equipment closet which would get my amps off my front stage.
Here are specs for the amp.

I used to know the answer to this and I think last time I asked about this question for my 15" subs that were clicking on and off the answer was that my amps were not powerful enough to handle the 2 ohm load. :doh: I tried running some sweeps and they do work bridged, but this does not mean for certain it will work for movies I think. Thanks.
