Bridging a head unit?

[lkwinni 10+ year member]

I just got an Alpine CDM-7893. What I want to do is put a cheapo setup in my truck for the time being: that head unit and two front speakers. It puts out 60W x 4. Is there any way I can bridge it to get something like 120W x 2?

Thanks

First, your headunit is not going to output anywhere remotely close to 60w x 4. It's realistically closer to the 12w - 20w range.

Second, I would recommend against bridging the headunit.

never look at max watts. look at rms.

Your head unit is most likely already set up in an internally bridged configuration.

you could bridge some off the older pioneer headunits for a whopping 50 watts rms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
