Odd question

K i got a reall newbie question for you guys, hope it comes out clear. say you have a deck that puts out 50x4, and you are only runnin 2 150 watt speakers, could you bridge the front speaker wires on the deck and the rear speaker wires on the deck together and run it to the 2 speakers giving you 100 watts?

No...do not do it!!!
Head Unit internal amplifiers are not designed to be bridged...You WILL damage your head unit...

I know some decks you can...Mine for instance..(planet audio) it specifies right on the deck itself, for 2 speaker mode, shows how to bridge :d, But yes I agree, 90% of decks cannot do it

even if you were able to bridge the channels in your deck it wouldnt do that much more good....most head units struggle to provide a good 10 - 15 watts rms per channel

on some older pioneers you could bridge the rear channels to make a sub channel , you could also switch the rear to output sub bass and use the internal sub xover . it was in the manual .
