.hat imagine i51-2 question

[dot8905 10+ year member]

I just picked up both a sundown 50.4 and a set of hat i51-2 speakers. I'm only running a front stage and i'm running the speakers as components. My question is should i just run them off the first two channels of my amp theoretically 50w rms or should i set them up bridged off the amplfier? I know it may seem stupid and the obvious answer being bridge the amp and send more power to the speakers, but i dont want to be sending too much power to the speakers. I also am just running them passive because i don't feel comfortable nough yet to adjust crossover points, slopes and other adjustments required for active setups on my 9887. Any input would be great, thanks

No problem I just ordered in bulk so I dont need all of mine

IIRC, the 50.4 has proper crossovers to run active directly through the amp. That'd be another option.

What kind of difference do u think i would hear runnign bridged passive vs 4 channel active

I have an aq sdc 2.5 10 right now on a saz-1000d and a cadence Xa175.2 with cadence Zrs5k up front which are loud but are somewhat harsh on the tweets. I have a hdc3 12 in the mail that I'll match up with the 1000 and im Gunna put in the 50.4 and the imagines in place for the front
