Question about bridging channels

[Lingerfelt 10+ year member]

I just picked up a ZX650.4, and I was wondering if it would be possible to run it bridged at 2 ohms, and if it is possible does anyone have an idea of the power it might produce?

Power is:

RMS Power Ratings: 120 watts x 4 chan. @ 4 ohms

RMS Power Ratings: 170 watts x 4 chan. @ 2 ohms

RMS Power Ratings: 325 watts x 2 chan. @ 4 ohms

I'm just not sure if 2 ohms is too low to run bridged, as there is no XXX x 2 Chan @ 2 ohms, but I know Kicker makes solid amps, and anyone I'd be interested in hearing from is much more knowledgeable than I am.

Thanks.

most amps will fry if you do that or have really crappy SQ

Doubt the amp will like it. It will shut down, if you're lucky it will be a result of the protection circuits doing their job, if you're not it will be the result of the magic smoke escaping from the amp's vitals.

Ok, just making sure, I won't be attempting it. Thanks guys.
