can i bridge my hu?

[Bboy_jon 10+ year member]

ok i have a pasasonic c7301u, now i have 2 jl audio tr650 cxi's. I have a profile ap1200 running two re 8's

i have a 91 toyota mr2, and well i dont have space for a new amp (i do but itll be a hassle and im struggling for cash)

so ya the stock rear speakers, are 2 inches....lol and i can fit 4 inch speakers in there but my subs are in there so they really serve no purpose

so my question, can i take the rear speaker wires and bridge them with the front speaker wires?

front left + with the rear left -

front right + with the rear right -

can i do that?

thanks

i read another post and alot of you said no, but anyone have experience with my hu?

I have never done it, but I would think it would cause the HU to run hot. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

not if you want to keep it.

i know a decent amount of h/u's you actually can bridge the 2 rear channels together....but w/ limitations on imp....i think 6 or 4 ohms in the lowest you can go, check with your owner's manual if you can it should say

it doesnt say, someone told me that since i have a feature that can change the rear speakers into a substitution subwoofer, i can do this?

Really, you shouldnt do it.

At the very least, ask the manufacturer what they think about it.

I ran my Kenwood @ 2ohms on the front channels.

You can do it. But run the risk of blowing the internal amp. So it is not recommended. You also void any warranty from the manufacturer.
