Please post in the right sections...

Most receivers aren't designed to be bridged in that manner, but if it's stable to 4 ohms, you could try it.

That's one of the advantages of going with a seperate power amplifier, most of them can handle lower impedance loads with no problem //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most home audio things that are bridgable will have a switch or bridging instructions printed on the back of the amp. If you don't see that.... I wouldn't try it.

Agreed.... Because if you don't bridge an amp correctly you can damage the speakers or the amp...
