    Here's the techinical information from Wikipedia - Bridged Amplifier

    He is a simplified example:
    If you have a 2 ch amp that can be bridged, it turns it into a mono amp and doubles the power. Basically taking the power from both channels that is available, and putting it into one channel.

    Ohhhh and welcome to Club Polk.
