Help with bridging

Hi, here is what I have:

1. Kenwood KDCMP225 CD/MP3/WMA, 50W X 4

2. Kenwood 200W 6" 3-ways in my front doors.

What I want to do is bridge the four channels into two, but I'm not sure how to do the wiring - what wires need to be spliced and such. Any help is appreciated!

I don't think you can do that from your HU. The stereo's amp is not like an external amp that you can bridge 2 channels into 1. I could be wrong, but if you try to do that you will probably fry your HU. Hope that helps.

yeah, i wouldnt try that from the HU. but if you must try it for yourself i think it would be something like left front + and left rear - to the left speaker then right front + and right rear - to the right speaker. i doubt it would work though with the way the HU amp is set up.
