Its been awhile since I posted an insanely stupid question and I just can't wait any longer...


I have a M200t (Fm purchased) hooked up between my 3805 and my new lsic.
1. I am running from my single center channel preout to the left/right inputs on the carver.
2. Then from the left output to the upper posts and the right output to the lower posts of the lsic.

My question: Is this the best way? Would I gain anything by running the carver brigded?

I think I have it right but would hate to miss something easy because I'm afraid to ask.

Thanks........kevin :)

    opus, I'm assuming that you are using a Y-splitter or you receiver has 2 center outs?

    I would do it (in fact, I did it for quite awhile) the same way you are. It's a better option than bridging. One, You don't need that much power, two, the LSiC is a 4ohm speaker and bridged, the m200t shouldn't see less than 8 ohms. I think it would WORK, but why bother?

    TroyD,

    Thanks for the reassurance, If I read the Fm history books correctly you owned this amp at one time. Small world. :)
