What I know for sure is in the manual, in BOLD PRINT Steve says to connect the left positive to the right negative. But I can't think of any theoretical reason why it would matter, so if you're feeling lucky try it both ways and report back.

You can see it on page 10 of the UFO25 manual:

I also believe the next page, on balanced operation is how you bridge "in parallel."

[FOOBAR2000 | Jay's CDT2 MRK3] -> Denafrips Terminator 2 + Gaia
Sumiko Pearwood -> Mapleknoll Athena -> Luxman SUT -> Mapletree Phono 3E
STR-1002 -> Woo WA22 -> 2x UFO25s, balanced monos
Omega SAM , Hifiman Arya, Audeze LCD-XC

CAJames: Wow, big thanks to you – this is exactly the info I was looking for.

There I was searching everywhere on the forum and the SE84DIY manual with its one paragraph info about bridging into mono, but never thought about checking the other manuals.

It seems irrelevant which way you'd bridge the speaker outputs in series, but why go the other way when one specific one is written in the manual – so let's do that. Cheers!
