[QUOTE="edzy, post: 5489707, member: 573836"] yes. it can be done, depending on the amp. Channel 1 - FL and FR speaker = 2 ohm load Channel 2 - RL And RR speakers = 2 ohm load Channel 3 and 4 bridged to a 4 ohm load for sub. Now as it can be done, there are issues. 1. make sure the amp is capable of 2 ohm operation. 2. you will lose either front and rear fade or left and right balance on the speakers. 3. you will a crossover on the sub or speakers, or an amp that can be configure to do that, such as a Phoenix gold XS4600. Im sure there many others that have built in xovers for front and rear channels. 4. You will need a dvc 2 ohm sub wired to 4 ohms on the bridged channels, Most amps are only stable at 4 ohms bridged. And where did I imply i knew alot..lol. This is a diagram from section 107 you should read abit on there as well.
