Bridging a poweramp?
How does one go about bridging a poweramp with no "Bridge" input? The poweramp in question is the mosvalve MV-962. I'd also like to get it to be bridged at 8 Ohms. Each channel works at 8 ohms, so I'm wondering if this is possible.

i dont think you can actually change the ohmage easily without knowing your shit about electronics...
But usually if you just plug it into one input it will bridge on its own, if there is no "bridge" input or switch.

Well, the thing is that the MV-962 is 80 watts per side at 8 ohms. If I bridged it, I'm assuming it would be 160 watts at 8 ohms, not very much volume added, but I think it would give me more head room.

When you bridge it, or when you run in stereo, the matter is still how many speakers you have hooked up. If you have two hooked up and it is bridged...it will be bridged at 4 ohms the majority of the time (Unless your speakers are at 4 ohms, why this would be....i dont know) if you wanted to bridge at 8 ohms just one speaker should be connected. As for no "bridged input" switch...there should be something on the amp itself to change it. Im a PA fanatic and I havent yet found a poweramp without this feature.
EDIT: And it may be more than 160 W...My QSC RMX2450 at 8 ohms stereo is 500W, but bridged at 8 ohms is 1500W. And I Run it at Bridged 4 ohms so it runs at 2400W. I think the scale is logarithmic

Well, the cabinet in question would be a Marshall 1960a. It says it runs at 8 ohms in stereo, but could I run both sides of my power amp into just that cabinet?

well, if you bridge it, only one side of the amp works.
EDIT: This is what I know from PA systems and all the power amps i have worked with. I dont think it would be any different but, you never know. Read the manual. It helps greatly.
