    Internal bridging for RB-971

    Well I've got my used 971 I won off ebay coming (it's in Ohio right now) and I'm wondering if anyone has performed the internal bridging operation descibed in the manual. I've never taken the cover off any of my electronics and while the procedure sounds simple I don't want to screw anything up. Is there a danger of damaging something easily or will I have to work at it?

    Also the manual says 200w bridged, but I've seen quotes of around 180 as well. Which is it? I am looking forward to running this bridged for my center channel to complement the 991 I have running the mains. Any information is appreciated.

      It is simple as can be, off comes the upper casing, three jumpers to shift (surprisingly identical to PC jumpers), on goes the casing, and use the +/+ terminals only when wiring.

      rotel's specification and the accompanying manual state 180w bridged output, so I will take their word for it

          Bridging Question
          by OnlyOne
          This may be the idiot question of the day, but I was wondering about Bridging. I have the Rotel 1055 and the 1075. Currently the 1075 is powering the main 5 speakers and the 1055 is powering the 2 rears for 7.1.

          I was thinking though, that I could get more power in stereo, and overall...

          RB1070 - bridging for 300+ watts
          by AudioHed
          I'm considering getting another RB1070 amp and bridging the two for mono amplification. Can anyone comment on whether or not this would be a good idea. I have B&W CDM9's.

          Has anyone done this or heard a configuration like this with bridged RB1070's???

          Hi Rotelians,

          as you already know from my profile, I run a 1055 with four huge IQ System300T and a big Boston Center VR14 from the THX series. As I like to wish to deactivate the center in 5 Channel stereo easiliy and wish to give my RSX 1055 power supply more power for the IQ's, I would...

          Bridging a RB-1070
          by miner
          Has anyone here bridged a RB-1070 amp (130W X2 / 330W X1)? I am interested in feedback before I pursue this option (2 RB-1070 - one for each channel). Thanks.
