Samson Servo

Need help with buying a Power Amplifier and Speakers?

I am interested in buying the Servo 200 Power Amplifier, here are the specs:

100 watts per side at 4 ohms
200 watts bridged mono at 8 ohms

Does per side mean per speaker? Is Bridged Mono the term used when there are two speakers hooked up to an Amp?

I want to buy the Samson Auro 6" Passive PA Cabinet, here are the specs:

8 Ohms / 45 Watts RMS / 180 Watts Peak

So since it can handle 180 watts (per side/bridged mono?), will these two items be able to handle each other?

Be sure that the 100 watts/side @ 4 ohms is continuous power from 20 to 20,000 hertz at very low distortion, say below 0.1 percent.
Per Side mean there are 2 channels, one channel "per side"
200 watts bridged mono @ 8 ohms mean the two 100 watt channels are combined into one channel.

I assume that the Samson Auro is a loudspeaker. If so it should be compatible with the Servo 200. Are you buying two servo 200 amps and bridging them for 200 per channel? It shoud be ok. In fact there is less chance of blowing your speakers with a High Powered amp than with a low powered amp. Most speakers get blown when an amp goes into "clipping" or is pushed beyond its capabilities. A higher powered amp would be "cruising" most of the time.
