in the past when i've bridged ms/mps amps i've just used the left rca input and the amp has summed the inputs itself. now on my outlaws i have used just the left input to bridge and it doesn't seam to be summing both inputs so when i bridge i'm still getting the same output as if i were running only one channel :hmm:

any ideas what's going on? do i need to resort to Y splitters? i really don't want to use the later :doh:

All the amps after the MS don't have the bridging switch. All the switch does is route one RCA signal to both channels. You will have to use "Y" cables, or internally jumper the RCAs together.

i thought so, internally jumping the rca's may be a neater option.. means i have to take them out again though :cry:

only reason i have only one rca per amp is i'm running the m50's for left and right midbass bridged!

m50's bridged for midbass, m100 bridged on sub and m100 running 3" mids and tweeters in stereo.
