Is the Z Amp BRIDGEABLE, and if so, to what power output rating?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Zamp has a setting for bridged mono operation. You should not use a speaker with an impedance that is less than 8 ohms for Bridged Mono operation, or you risk damaging the unit. The Mono Bridged setting has a continuous power output of 90 watts RMS. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Yes, 90 watts into 8 ohm; see their website:http://www.parasound.com/ParasoundZ/zampv3.php

NOPE. A usb port, as far as I know, can only put our 2.5 watts max output. Which, for powering this amp would be hilariously insufficient and could also burn out your usb port if used at that power continuously. The wall-wart that comes with it is 24 watt and that's even far, faaarrrr too little. While a usb powered version of these amps would be nice (I can think of several uses), I highly doubt there's enough wattage there for this one.

That depends on the adapter you are using. What is power output of the amplifier is

Yes. I have it powering two front speakers and then bridged the other two channels for a single voice coil subwoofer.

According to the user manual, the rated power output of the amp is 30 watts per channel.

The owners manual does not list this amp as bridgeable for mono operation. I only use this amp in stereo mode. It's a nice amp for the price. Here is their web site for more info. http://shop.emotiva.com/products/upa200

It is a PCI-E 1x Card (not PCI)I think so, but it'd be best to check Zotac's siteNo special power supply needed, it draws it's power from the slot

You will need a power source. Dayton and Lepai both make inexpensive amps that would go the job.

No absolutely not. Not even sure how you would do that. First off, This amp is not that good. No where near its rated power.

its rated for 550W Bridged@4Ω and I do not believe that is 550RMS. The general idea of a 5 channel amp is to run 5 speakers, if you're just powering only a subwoofer via amp I suggest a good Monoblock amp.

No. It can only handle 4 or 8 ohms. 8 ohms when the amp is used in bridged mode.

You can, but you might be sorely disappointed. This amp can deliver maybe 30rms when bridged (@4ohm)Depends on what sub. 30rms is fine for a computer speaker sub, but is pathetic for car audio.

Yes, it will provide up to 1100 watts at 4 ohms bridged safely. I am driving a 4 ohm subwoofer for home theater purposes. Note that in this configuration you are only providing a single channel of audio, not stereo.

Absolutely. Make sure it is in a well ventilated space, the overheat protection works well. Even at 215W at 8OHM unbridged you would be ok. Bridging will allow you to run it at a lower volume output. This is a tremendously powerful amp.
