Mono vs Bridged

[light200]

Does mono mean the same thing as bridged? if not whats the difference?

Mono means not stereo. Bridged is a term to describe the action of taking the + speaker terminal of one amp chnl and the - speaker terminal of the neighboring amp chnl to create one chnl. Example = a 2 chnl amp becomes a mono amp or a 4 chnl amp becomes a 2 chnl amp.

so when the wetsounds syn6 claims it will do 105x4 at 2 ohms, does this mean i have 4 channels of stereo power, or only 2 channels because they are bridged together?

what i am trying to find out is exactly how much power EACH individual speaker will receive when setup with this amp? seeing as the xs650 are 4ohm, if wired in parallel to present a 2ohm load to the amp, do i need to bridge to get this kind of power?
me this means i have 4 channels that could each put out 105rms, BUT, if i have 2 speakers on that channel they have to share the power, thus each only receives 62.5W?

The Syn6 is a 6 chnl amp. Chnls 1 - 4 are 60W each with a 4 ohm load and 105 with a 2 ohm. So, if you wire a pair of 4 ohm speakers in parallel to a single chnl, the output would be 105 on that chnl as the 2 speakers present a 2 ohm load. You are correct, two speaker wired together on a single chnl will share the available power.

If you bridged chnls 1 and 2 with, say a Pro80, it would putout 200W to the Pro80. Basically, when bridged with a 4 ohm load, each chnl runs at its 2 ohm rated output.

Very, very few amps will handle a 2 ohm load bridged, so you can not bridge a pair of XS650.

If you want to get the most out of your XS-650, go with a Syn4. It will power 4-6 at about 100-125 W ea

so what would be the wiring config for 3 pairs of xs650 with the syn 4 for optimal power?

1st pair wired in parallel gets 200W(100 per speaker) on channel 1
2nd pair wired in parallel gets 200W(100 per speaker) on channel 2
3rd pair wired in parallel gets 200W(100 per speaker) on channel 3
channel 4 goes usused?

is this the optimal config here? any way to utilize channel 4 here?

Port bow goes to chnl-1, stbd bow goes to chnl-2

port mid-ship and aft wired in parallel on chnl-3 and stbd mid-ship and stbd aft in parallel on chnl-4.

Each bow gets 125 and each main cabin gets 100.
