Bridge my 4-channel

Post by JL Man »

alright, so right now i have my jl 300/4 running my front comps and my subs because ebay screwed me. i have the subs bridged on the rear channels. but i was curious as to if i could bridge my front channels too, just take the positives and negative twist them together and bridge them. (i know y'all already knew how to do it.) but the comps say they are 4 ohm with 80 watts rms, i'm guessing that means per speaker set. if i bridge them they will have 150 rms. should be alright huh?

in my sig, where is says 300/2, i'm gonna put that on when i get my sub amp. but for now i'm just running my front comps and subs off the 300/4.

Okay I don't really get what you are asking but if you have comps that are 80w rms you don't wnat to give them 150w rms. That 300/4 is putting out 75w to each output (probably even underrated) that is perfect, why would you bridge anything?

150w on an 80w speaker usually isn't a good idea.
