Know enough about electronics/stereos to wire up my system, but I'm curious to whether there are any adverse effects of using my 4-channel amp to drive my 6x9's (one channel each) and then bridge the other two channels to run my sub on. Adverse effects such as noise on the lines somehow, or if it might hurt my amp, and if this is even possible to do. Thanks

Thanks</TD></TR></TABLE> Its no problem, as long as the load on the two ch. that you bridge sees a load of no less then 4OHMs, also I would amp the front speakers, not the rears, and if the amp has a x-over run the fronts highpass, use the HU power to run the rear speakers, and if they have tweets, disable them. 94

 

Is that going to give me a better sound to amp my 6 1/2" door speakers instead of the 6"x9" rears?

 

gernerally speaking, yes... you don't want to hear more sound from behind you than you do from the front...

imagine being at a concert and the speakers were behind you while you are facing the stage... now imagine that the speakers are up front... which would sound better?

and no, it shouldn't hurt the amp to run it as 3 channels, as long as it was designed to run as such
