Can I connect two amplifiers together?
The short answer is that you can use any number or combination of power amps in a car audio setup as long as you wire them in properly. The most common reason to wire in multiple amps is to have one for your main speakers and a second amplifier for a subwoofer.
Does bridging an amp affect sound quality?
Bridging most amplifiers will make no noticeable difference in sound quality.
Can I use 2 amplifiers on the same speaker set?
You cannot hook two amps to a single set of speaker terminals because the amps will see each other and usually blow up, blow fuses, or go into protection. If you speakers have biwire terminals and you remove the jumpers then you can safely hook up an amp to each pair of terminals.
Is it better to bridge an amp?
Bridging is not “better”, but it can offer advantages in situations where the supply voltage to the output stage of the amplifier is constrained (e.g. in a car stereo system).
When should you bridge an amp?
Bridging amplifier channels combines a stereo pair of channels into a single mono channel. Bridging is often used to provide more power to large full range speakers in a two channel system, home theater, or to power larger passive in room/in wall subwoofer speakers.
What are the advantages of our audio amp ICs?
Our audio amp ICs provide load dump protection, advanced AC/DC load diagnostics, the widest range of operating voltages, ease EMC design and more.
What types of audio amplifier integrated circuits do we offer?
We offer a wide range of easy-to-use audio amplifier integrated circuits, including digital and analog input Class-D speaker amps, Smart Amps, integrated headphone amps, audio op amps, and line drivers/receivers, across a wide range of output power and performance.
What is a Class A amplifier?
Class A Amplifiers The simplest type of audio amplifiers is Class A. Class A amps have output transistors (Figure 1) that conduct (i.e., do not fully turn off), irrespective of the output signal waveform. Class A is the most linear type of audio amp, but it has low efficiency.
Why choose Ti audio amplifiers?
Advanced system protection is built into our amplifiers which eliminates the need to design with discrete components. TI’s audio amplifiers leverage advanced technologies, innovative packaging and intelligent integration to enable small systems without compromising performance.
