Power Output
Because the available voltage swing across the load is doubled for the same power supply voltage, bridged output theoretically enables the design of an amplifier producing four times the power output on the same supply voltage, since.
- .
However, operating a pair of existing amplifier channels in bridge mode only doubles or triples power output to the load, since the amplifier retains its existing current rating.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or output:
“He who knows that power is inborn, that he is weak because he has looked for good out of him and elsewhere, and, so perceiving, throws himself unhesitatingly on his thought, instantly rights himself, stands in the erect position, commands his limbs, works miracles; just as a man who stands on his feet is stronger than a man who stands on his head.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks;
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.”
—Anonymous. Late 19th century ballad.
The quatrain refers to the famous case of Lizzie Borden, tried for the murder of her father and stepmother on Aug. 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts. Though she was found innocent, there were many who contested the verdict, occasioning a prodigious output of articles and books, including, most recently, Frank Spiering’s Lizzie (1985)
