Hi ive been looking around for the past week and cant quite seem to find what im looking for. I understand that amps that have a "Bridged" channel is a channel that allows a 1-2 ohms setup. I have my current 5 channel amp running my door speakers at 40 rms and my headunit is sitting idle but it would be cool If I could add 2 speakers to my dash that run at the same voltage as my amp.

What I am wondering is I have a head unit that has 22w RMS id like to bridge it. Obviously the system cant handle a 2ohms load ... but what if I hooked up a dual voice coil speaker to the mix? Id be able to keep the system at a 4ohm load. would this work?

Figured Id ask and see if anyone has tried/tested/experienced someone going about it in this fashion.

Bridging rear outputs on 4 channel amp to use in 3 channel mode?
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.

It would also be easy to add an equalizer to have individual rca inputs for all of the channels. A decent one can be had for less than $40...

Question about connections between head unit (HU), amp, and sub
One or two, they are still subwoofer outs and are mono summed signals from both left and right. Even the 2 RCA subwoofer pre-outs on the 2nd one...

There are a couple of options. You can use a marine bt unit. They come in the size of a hockey puck and can mount anywhere. This is the marine unit.
