Howdy Bonnie!

That seems logical; I believe that the perception of stereo begins
around 100 cycles, but that could be incorrect.  I have some old
Turbosound TMS-4 cabs that like the x-over to be set quite high for
the 18s in the low end horns, and I run the low end in stereo with
those (when I am forced to use those ancient beasts).

Yes, although I prefer not to bridge, if I can help it; I feel that most
amps sound better unbridged, or run mono in parallel. I have an old Crest
300 that I simply must bridge (used for stage monitors in a small system),
but it doesn't sound as good, and I can't load it as heavily. Take care.
