Carver amp question
I've had a Carver 2090i amp sitting on the shelf for a few
years after using it in a prior install. It performed very well for me, so I'm putting it into a new install. I no longer have the manual for it and can't find anything on the web about the amp. I want to bridge it to drive a single driver subwoofer, but there is no switch marked "BRIDGE". The closest thing is a swtich marked MONO. And the four speaker terminals have the positive from one channel circled and the negative from the other channel circled. I would assume that these are the terminals that will be driven when bridged. Anyone familiar with Carver amps and if my above assumptions are correct? -- TRW _______________________________________ t i m . w i t o r t _______________________________________ |

In the event paranoia overtakes you, you could always contact Carver directly. -dan |

Here...I'll make it realllllly easy: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...mp&btnG=Search -dan Trust me, I've googled Carver every which way to Sunday. Did you actually *look* at that site. Here's some fine print from their support page: "We realize that you may own Carver consumer products manufactured or sold by Carver Corporation, and are having trouble finding support and service for those products. We would like to be able to help you, however, we do not have parts or documentation for the consumer electronic products sold under the "Carver" brand. If you go to their website www.carveraudio.com they will tell you where you can obtain authorized service and warranty repair for Carver Consumer products. Their telephone number is (425) 335-4748, Ext 222." So this is obviously not where I'd find help for this amp. And if you go to the suggested site "www.carveraudio.com" you'll find this: "Disclaimer: This website is NOT run, maintained, or owned by Carver Corp. Sunfire Corp. or any other Bob Carver affiliated company." They repair amps and have a forum (that I have posted to) and they *sell* amp manuals for $10 apiece. Then if you go to CarverUSA.com, you get a nice shiny "Under Construction" image. No sign of an email address where I might send such an inquiry. Thanks for the charming replay anyway, Dan. -- TRW _______________________________________ t i m . w i t o r t _______________________________________ |

Carver amp question
When I worked at Phoenix Gold about 7 years ago, we owned a division of
Carver (my office was right next to theirs). I'll bet a bunch of those guys are still around and that might be a good place to start for obscure tech support on older Carver gear. Try Phoenix Gold in Portland, OR. Nick "D.Kreft" wrote in message oups.com... On Jun 28, 9:20 am, (Tim Witort) wrote: Thanks, Dan.
