to bridge or not to bridge?

[maddog101 10+ year member]

I have a JL 300/4 amp to run a set of alpine SPR-17S components.

What would be the best way to wire it.I have a reg cab truck, 2 12" subs w jl 250/1, pioneer h/u with f/r/s rca outs

Can I bridge the 4 channels and still have stereo sound?

if you can run the amp where the front is highs rear is mids and sub is sub then i'd run one pair to the tweets and one pair to the mids. and yes you'd still have stereo but if you wanna use the passive xovers then yes you can bridge it and still have stereo sound.

Yes I use the pasv crsovr (I kill tweets alot).

Wouldnt using Frnt & Rear for front spkrs mess up the stereo image theory?

Please, how do I connect the amp + components to get the most power + the best sound quality? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

not if the deck is able to run in hi mid low mode instead of front rear sub, in hi mid low mode the front send the high signal the rear send the mid signal and the low is the sub

acually it will do front for highs rear for rear or sub.Can I split the hu front rca's?

Or the amp has a 2 or 4 channel switch for when you only have one set of rca's it will run signal through all four channels in 2 ch mode.

Would it be best to connect the highs n mids directly to the amp using its crossovers."" "" "" to use all 4 channels for more power
