bridging channels

hey guys, quick question. can an amp push a set of 2 ohm speakers and a set of 4 ohm speakers (assuming it is both 2 and 4 ohm stable) off of one bridged channel?

4 channel. i was planning on running my 6's in the doors off one channel, and my 5" rear fill and 3.5" dash off of the other channel, but the 5's are 4 ohm and the 3.5's are 2 ohm. it will be fine, i'll just run the 3.5's off the deck, and keep the 5's on the amp.

you could wire a 4 and a 2 ohm speaker in series for a 6 ohm load and run that off a bridged amp.
then you could wire the right side the same and run them off the other bridged output.
But why? Now you'd be back to running 4 speakers off a 4 ch amp.

Get another amp.

haha, yea its not even worth it. the dash speakers are 35 rms, so i'll just underpower them a bit off of the dash, its not worth the hassle or money getting another amp and all that jazz
