Bridging A Headunit with Dual Voice Coil Speakers?

Hi I have a Kenwood Deck with a 5 channel amp. My amp is powering my door speakers and subs at 40 RMS to the door speakers. Now I know this is probably not doable because I dont have a deep enough understanding of bridging but as far as I am aware a bridgeable channel is one that can handle 1-2 ohm loads. The reason this is not doable with your head unit is that it cant handle 1-2 ohm loads only 4.

But what If I bridged the rear and front channels with a dual voice coil speaker? This way I could keep the ohms at 4 ohms.

I ask this because I would love to add 2 more speakers to my setup on my dashboard. Now of course I could just wire up my Headunit and run the normal 22 rms setup and this would be the easiest way to hook up a few speakers with the only cost being the speakers themselves. But my amp pushes my doors at 40 rms and it would be cool if I could get the extra power from the HU to match my amp settings. I dont want 4 speakers on my dash (that is a but much) so I will have my 2 rear channels just taking up space/power for no reason. Might as well use that unused power if I can right?

If this doesn't work id like to know why or be directed to a place that can teach me why it wouldn't. Thank you!

That amp does not have the RCA summing feature. You will have to use RCA splitters at the amp. If you already have that, then check the gains.

Bridging the amplifier Mono(LPF)on that sub will work just fine @4ohms
