Jl 600/6 bridged
Will I lose stereo seperation if I bridge the underseat mid basses? I'm using 2 Jehnerts and was planning on bridging the last 2 pairs to send them 200 watts, but was a fraid that would they be getting a mono signal from the inputs.
Do I need Y's or should I just connect one RCA input on each pair of channels, and if I do that what input mode should I set the amp to? Or am I just overthinking this! |

Hey thanks for getting back to me! Yeah I RTFM I guess I just didnt UTFM! I figured I would lose stereo seperation, hence my follow up question whether I should use Y's or just one input on each channel. I guess RTFEP comes into play here! I kid I kid.
But seriously the manual was a little vague, or maybe like I said I didn't understand it. I had an old ADS amp that allowed me to bridge and attach one input on each channel. The jl manual doesnt state this, and if it did I didn't see it! So do I need y's or will one input on each channel work? |

Just to update. I spoke with Jl tech support he said to use y's and set channel input to 6.
He was surprised to see that the manual didn't say anything about using one input on each channel at the amp, only the source unit. He said he was going "to look into it" He said the amp is looking for both inputs on the channels to be used and using one could cause the amp to overheat. |

For that amp you could run channel 1 and 2 as L and R for the front mids and 3 and 4 bridged to the left underseat and 5 and 6 bridged to the right underseat. You would run 2 left channel inputs to input 3 and 4 and 2 right channel inputs to input 5 and 6.

As far as connecting one input at each channel, it will work but you will have to raise the gain to compensate the lack of other input (hence risk of over heating and noise).

Subquestion: do you care/will you notice if you lose stereo on your underseat woofers?

However BMW under seat location does not help at all.
