[QUOTE="sam_b03, post: 7883828, member: 607518"] The way I wired my 4 channel up was left speaker wired to the front channels +left and -right. Then right speaker to the rear channel +left and -right. I set my gains as equal to one another. When bridging an amp they usually can't handle low Ohm loads. This is why the specs always list Xwatts x 4 @ 4ohm; Xwatts @ 2Ohms (this number is usually double the 4ohm). Then Xwatts x 2 @ 4Ohms. (the bridged is usually around double the 2Ohm rating). You are not upping the wattage by reducing the Ohm load. You are upping the wattage by powering 1 speaker off 2 channels from amp. [/QUOTE]
