I have a 2-channel amp (HK PA 2000) that I want to use to power a center channel speaker (CSi40). Is there a way I can hook it up to take advantage of both channels?
HT/2-channel Rig: Sony 50” LCD TV; Toshiba HD-A2 DVD player; Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro; Rogue Audio M-120 monoblocks (modded); Placette RVC; Emotiva LPA-1 amp; Bada HD-22 tube CDP (modded); VMPS Tower II SE (fronts); DIY Clearwave Dynamic 4CC (center); Wharfedale Opus Tri-Surrounds (rear); and VMPS 215 sub

    You can't bridge it...but...you can use it to bi amp the CSi40.

    Split the signal coming out of the center preamp on your receiver using a y adapter.

    Run each ot the ends to the left and right inputs on your receiver.

    Just set that amp up to run in stereo power, which you probably already have, and run each channel to a terminal on the back of the center...
