head and shoulders above the kappa.
Bridged is taking 2 channels of a amp and making it 1 channel, making your 4 channel amp a stronger 2 channel amp. You get way more power out of it. (I like a lot of power)

- 4 ohms: 75 watts x 4 chan.
- 2 ohms: 100 watts x 4 chan.
- Bridged, 4 ohms: 200 watts x 2 chan.
Also, in doing this am I limiting myself to future speaker configurations (LIDS)?
Thank you so much and I hope Im not asking too many stupid questions.

Now when something is bridged, is it purchased that way or is it something that is done to the amp after you purchase it?

If lowers are a consideration, now would be the time to maybe consider a little bigger 4 channel amp. Maybe a little more money up front but the Stinger would be able to run some Mmats 601.cx in your lowers if you add them latter, or your tour pack now when it is on the bike.

Are you running the VADM4 bridged or just using 2 of the 4 channels?

Thanks for all the info - in about the same boat here too. I have a 16 RG Special with the Boom 6.5 and looking for more power and possibly a speakers swap so I can hear my tunes while at speed. Don’t need much thump on the bike.
I've got a Kenwood KAC m3004 laying around, that I'm going to mount into my tour pack. Rig it up to quick disconnect all together with my tour pack when it comes off.
