Bridging Rachael
10/25/13 at 20:41:36

I purchased another Rachael used and am thinking about bridging them and never bridged before.

I found this in the Rachael manual:

"You can bridge both channels into one by simply connecting the two positive speaker
binding posts together. The negative posts are already connected together internally."

Do I need something to split the signal to both input jacks on each amp?

I can make you one if you decide that's the route you want to go.
