If 500W are specified for a 4 ohm load, you will only obtain 250W for each channel over a 8 ohm speaker. In bridged mode, it is not true that basically one channel drives the upper part of the sine and the other the lower: they operate in push-pull, supplying each side of the speaker with

Thanks folks for your quick replies. I've dug out the manual and even though the specifications say it can do 4 ohms in bridged mode, there is another statement that says it doesn't recommend it. Here is what it says about bridged mode: The A channel handles the positive voltage and the B
