i have a crossfire vr354 35/4 and right now im running a pair of alpine 6.5 mid bass and a 1inch tweeters, im not useing a passive crossover just a capacitor between the mid bass and tweeter ,the amp is bridge and sounds great but i recently added a second alpine mid bass and it sounded a lot better, i tried going the 4ohm route but it just did not sound the same, will runing these speakers briged(3speakers on each briged channel)hurt my amp

Possibly.

Assuming you have both 4ohm mids wired in parallel, and the tweeter wired in parallel with the mids, it's possible that the amplifier could be presented with as low as a 1.33ohm bridged load at frequencies where the mid's and tweeter's frequency response overlaps. That's pretty darn low for any 4-channel amp, much less bridged (.67ohm per channel)

you have a capacitator between the midbass and the tweeter? what the f is supposed to mean

bass blocker. use your brain.

A capacitor creates a 6db/oct highpass filter.
