Has anyone compared a PL380 at 4 ohm stereo vs 2x PL340's bridged 4 ohm, on subs? I know what the spec sheets say, looking for an actual comparison.
You know those PL340s will be seeing 2 ohms if you bridge them into 4, right?

Yes, of course, hence the question. Applications are low-budget, where a FP14k won't fit. Rather than get a PL380 and PL340 to test first-hand, was wondering is someone else had these exact amps already.
That's the question, mostly. A PL380 in stereo isn't quite enough output, a pair of PL340's -on paper- is enough. Does reality line up with paper numbers.
As a matter of information-The Danley J2 can be ordered as a 3 way quad amped cabinet. 2x 3 ohm loads for the lows, 1x 4 ohm load mid and 1x 4 ohm load highs, OR the passive single channel 4 ohm version. It works well off of a single 4 channel Lab Gruppen 10K in the quad mode. We use a Lab 14K bridged when running it in passive single channel mode.Looks like PL380's, for all the other reasons than straight power. Other than applications where there just aren't amps large enough (Danley J2's), bridging has never been the best option.
