[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3045443, member: 561023"] A) What you're talking about isn't "bridging." Bridging involved taking two amplifier channels and combining them into a single (bridged) more powerful output channel. What you're speaking of is wiring two sets of speakers in parallel to halve the resistance load presented to the amplfier B) The issues with doing that are two-fold. If the two sets of components in question are both mounted in the front then you'll have one heckuva time getting the imaging right. If they are to be mounted front and rear instead then if you're running them off of the same set of amp channels then you have effectively eliminated your fadar function. C) You're spending more money with that method to achieve the same outcome. Attach one set of 4 Ohm components to two amp channels (one left and one right, obviously) and that component set will see 75w per side. Attach two 4 Ohm components sets to the same two amp channels and the 600.4 raises its output to 150wpc....which will in turn be divided in half split between the two sets of components and they're [I]still[/I] only seeing 75w per. Not the most expedient way to get that potential 150wpc, eh?? [/QUOTE]
