How would you do that; or do you mean one for lows and one for highs?

One for the right speakers, one for the left. I know they aren't monoblocks and you would not get more power but I'm thinking better soundstage, etc.

How would you bridge them? Or do you mean just use one channel?

Hi,

I mean just use one Sonic Impact amp per channel(speaker). They have volume controls so no preamp needed. I'm thinking the seperate power supplies, etc. will make the presentation better, maybe not. Very simple to do, no crossover or pre neccessary. I'm sure many have done this. I just got back from Radio Shack and bought another 12 volt ps and two mini to rca connectors so I'll give it a whirl later today.

You have heard of the Clari-T amp. Check this one out.

Thanks for the link; try The Company Store also, they have a great 40 watt GC kit on their site.

I saw some nice pillows at The Company Store.

They used to sell Ovaltine too.

You can safely parallel them mono, but NOT bridge them mono. Sounds different, not quite as good, and did not fix the thermalling problem. If you want more info there's a thread on AA.
