Bridged – The dBDRA defines bridging as the process of combining multiple amplifier output channels together in an effort to produce more power. Existing amplifiers use a variety of methods to achieve a bridged output. Some amplifiers have integrated bridging circuitry that allows the user to bridge the amp at his or her discretion by moving a switch or using certain inputs on the amp. Other amplifiers require the use of external signal processing circuitry in order to provide a bridged output. Some amps are even bridged in a permanent fashion and may not be bridged further by the end user. The dBDRA uses the “true” number of bridged channels in a system to determine eligibility for competition in the Street Division of competition. The dBDRA reserves the right to re-rate amplifier output channel capability to ensure compliance with the output channel limitations imposed in the Street Division.

Street A – A maximum of 2 subwoofer amplifiers may be used. Total subwoofer amplification is limited to a maximum of 4 “non-bridged” output channels or 2 “bridged” output channels.


How does this apply to say a JBL1200.1 which is a monoblock amp but has two output terminals?

Just want to clarafy things.

Does this mean I can use 4 JBL1200.1's?

Thanks
