I just got my carver PM-100 in the mail (I picked it up off of ebay), and I'm wondering if anyone knows what speaker terminals to use to bridge it (like left + and right + or left + right -). If anyone has a link to the manual online that would be very helpful also. bridging carver amp? -- posted image.

As long as it's a bridgeable amp it would be either polarity of one channel and the opposite polarity on the other channel. It would just be a phase difference whether you use left + or -. If it's not bridgeable, in that the signal is not reversed in the amp and sent through the negative terminal, you wouldn't get a signal by connecting in a bridged manner.

That's my guess, anyway.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I believe all Carver amps were bridgeable into an at least 8-ohm load. They usually have a switch on the back for bridged mono operation. As I recall it's + and + for bridged output. Contact Carver Pro and see if they have the manual for this amp available.
