Tough choice, bridge amp for front stage, or run all 4 channels

[silver07 10+ year member]

So here's my dilemma, my cdt comps are rated at 125 rms, same with my rear deck speakers. I can't decide if I should run all 4 channels, or just run the comps and bridge the amp.

If I bridge them then I can run it at rated power, the rear speakers will be getting 18 watts from my hu, or I can use all 4 channels and give them about 60 rms a piece.

Thoughts? This is pretty much the last step for now, for my build. I keep going back and forth.

Front stage is more than enough. Bridge the fronts.

Yeah I want some rear fill though. I'll install the rear speakers tomorrow and see how that goes running off the headunit.

try it both ways and then decide which you like best. not hard to do

Bridge the fronts and run rears off head unit.

Way back when, I had fronts and rears both amp'd.

Then I changed to high power on fronts only, HU running the rears. Never going back.

That was 10+ yrs and 4 cars ago.
