Carver Tfm 35 question

I know the TFm 35 in mono at 8 ohms gives 700 watts....but is it advisiable to try to run this amp bridged in 4 ohms?I have a subwoofer that is rated at 4 ohms ...but the Carver Manual doesn't say anything about bridged 4 ohms ..what do you guys think is it possible without hurting the amp?

I think your fear may be justified. A call to Carver Repair may be in order before driving a 4 ohm sub with a bridged TFM-35. Perhaps they can give you the definitive yes or no.

I can't beleive in a forum dedicated to Carver equipement...I can't get one answer on this.........

It will only drive a 8 ohm load bridged.

I was just reading in my TFM-35X manual last week about bridging them and it specifically warns not to run 4 OHM speaker(s) in this configuration because it can lead to overheating and internal circuit protection shutdown.

Thanks guys...too bad it's cant' run in this way...but thats asking too much... right now I'm running two 15 inch 8 ohm subwoofers with it....I wanted to run a single 4 ohm 18 incher with it.I will go back to plan B and run two 4 ohm 15 inchers......any of you guys use it in stereo configuration in 4 ohms?That should be okay?

I've used a TFM 15CB in the past with two 12 inch 4ohm subs ( titanic's). The amp always ran cool and never presented a problem.
