Not to sure about the common grounding on the C's. Yea or Nay on bridging one amp per speaker. Any thoughts?:confused:

    On 10a's? Sure, bridge away. Two M200's will out hump an M500.

    That should work ok. It's not SDA's so there's no problem with having to have a common ground amp. What impedance are the 10a's? That could be the only dilemma if they are lower than 8ohm then the 200t's might not like it. What does the amp manual say?

    The problem with mono amps and non common grounds is a SDA problem.

    Measured a little over 7 ohms. Just wanted to be sure before I accidentally let the smoke out of the amps. Heading to the "room" right now. Thanks guys.

    Messin' With Texas. Nice to meet ya. Just finished bridging the M's, let 'em warm up. Put Donald Fagan Nightfly. Much better! The low Hz was cleaner and a tolerant level. Thanks again.

    Could you Bi-amp instead with those speak's?

    No. Only one input to the X-over. Bridged and rockin' !!!!! Don't need it loud. But the juice is there when needed.
