[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 76157, member: 211"] Re: Stereo vs bridged mono The QSC PLX 3102 is rated at 3100 watts at 4 ohms, bridged mono, at 1% THD. Now, you will notice that the THD rating when the amps are driven in stereo is .1%. The sound is cleaner when in stereo mode. Is that enough to make a difference in the sound? Probably not going to be all that noticeable. Now, getting an amp that can truly deliver 3100 watts per channel at 4 ohms is likely going to ratchet up your budget higher than running the 2 amps that you currently have. You also are getting to the point where plugging the amp into a single 15 amp circuit isn't going to be an option if you plan to drive the amp at any decent level. In all honesty, if your amps are working for you, and the size isn't a concern, I don't see a reason to spend any money to fix a problem you don't have. [/QUOTE]
