Bridgeable Headunit?

[icky4 10+ year member]

Im pretty new to the car audio scene, and I was wondering if it would be possible to bridge a head unit. I have an amp to run my component speakers in the rear and my sub. I am using the head unit to run only my fronts, and I would like the extra power for them. Is it possible to run 2 channels to each of the front speakers?

you cant use the 4 channels on your HU to bridge into 2 cause you'll get two different signals that the unit sends out

run the amp to your fronts and the sub and run the backs off the headunit.

Is there any other way to get the power? Im guessing not, but I guess its worth asking.

Dont the component speakers need more power though? That is why I am running them off of the amp.

Well my deck is the deh-p680mp and you can bridge 2 channels on it.

Says right on the head unit it self.

theres no reason to run component speakers in the back and coaxials in the front..........do the components in front running of the amp then the coaxials in the back running of the headunit.
