Thank You, Thank You......Rob, that was very helpful information. So..Switch
to bridged mono on each amp....feed each amp a different signal....and
connect a single speaker to each amp using both positive terminals on each
amp. Is this my understanding?

Then how do they connect all those multiple amps on say a stadium tour?

just curious.

I want to get more power to two 12" speakers with an 8 Ohm load. My amps
put
out best at 4 Ohms. It's for rehearsal and the 200 watts stereo from a 4
Ohm
amp to 8 Ohm speakers is not loud enough to do vocals over all our
noise.

So use parallel?

No, you cannot parallel modern amps, as I said.

You can bridge them, if the amplifiers are capable of bridging. That
gives
you considerably more power.

To the original poster: I think what Scott is suggesting is that you can
take your 2 amps, which are probably stereo, run each one in bridged mode,
each one driving a single speaker. But only if the amps are capable of
being bridged.

Bridging a stereo amp renders it as a mono amp but driving about twice
as much power. But in can only be done on certain amps. Some amps
provide a bridge switch on them, and then you use the two red outputs
to drive one speaker.
