[QUOTE="JPWynn, post: 6832020, member: 621984"] I just bought a 4 channel amp which will power some front comps and rear coax. Initially I figured I would just run the 85W RMS x 4 into each speaker and be done. This would in turn make my 22W RMS x 4 HU power wasted... Right now I'm leaning towards bridging the 4 channel down to 2 channels for the comps and running the coax off the HU. This will give me 200W RMS x 2 for the front comps but only 22W RMS x 2 for the rear coax. I've read a few posts about people bi-amping speakers or somehow bridging the 4 channel HU power down to 2 channels to get the most out of it. Is this possible? Is there a way to modify a set of coax speakers so I can run the full 22W x 4 into them or do the speakers actually have to be bi-ampable to accomplish this? Would there be really any benefit into doing this? Essentially we are talking 44W RMS versus 22W RMS, correct? Would it really make that big of a difference? Thanks in advance for your replies.
