In Reply to: Damping factor posted by elflow on January 26, 2025 at 20:10:25:
The amps must be identical and the same signal present at both inputs.
This will double the damping factor if feedback is employed. For proper matching, for an 8 Ohm speaker you would use the 16 Ohm taps.
You cannot do this with a solid state amp- they have to be bridged instead of mono-strapped else damage will occur.
