I have an older Memphis Belle 16-ST 1300D, (the one with the bomber in the top left corner). Here's part of my setup as it applies to just this amp;

Front: Focal mids / tweets

Rear: Zapco mids

Sub: DC Audio 8's

Audiocontrol 4Xs

H/U Clarion FZ709

The Belle has only a single sub input. Memphis advises against running a splitter (down to one) off the deck. I've heard both sides of the argument with using either the right or left pre-out from the deck. Either way, it is my understanding that if I do one side or the other, I will lose a part of my sound. So, will the 16 Bridge solve my problem?

I'm pretty sure I've listed all the info I need to. If not, let me know. Thanks very much. (Don't know why everything is double spacing).

Fine the employers.

I assume you're talking about the "left" and "right" subwoofer outputs on the Clarion FZ709? It is a mono output so use either of them, it doesn't matter.

I was, in fact, talking about the left and right. And I apologize for clogging up the server with an answer I could have figured out, (had I read my own paperwork). But this site is where I get my best information so I probably would have asked just to be sure anyways. This hobby is too expensive to do things half-***ed.

Thank you, DYohn.
