i figured i'd just see if this was even in the realm of possibility before i spit on the guy when he comes back into the store.
I think this must be some internet legend, or something. Crossfire mono amps have two + and two - output blocks -+-+...its so you can have more than one pair of speaker leads, or can parallel at the amp, or whatever...still only one set of outputs. Anyway, I've had a couple people tell me that if you use the first neg, and the far end +, you can 'bridge' the amp, and get more power. A couple have even done it, and swear they can hear more bass.

what can you do...
