I've fitted my infinity 6x9's on a custom shelf and these run through a dragster dc602 amp.

I've also got a pair of kenwood 16 1/2 140w for the fronts (making pods for doors). however on testing them, they seemed very quiet in comparison to the rears - even with the head unit set to favour the front.

They are running off the head - a kenwood with 35w output. I know this is a little low...

My q is, can I run the fronts through the amp aswell as the rears? I think I need to bridge but have no idea what this is/means etc...

The amp has copnnections for ground, live and remote, a L and a R input and 2 spoeaker outputs - a left and a right.

Help.

you CAN run it off the amp, but if you do so you will ahve to turn the gain on the amp down as the front speakers wont take as much power as the rear 6*9

To run them off the same amp simply wire them in parellel to you existing ones to show the amp 2 ohms per channel if it can handle it (i should think that one wuold, especially at low output levels) or to be safe wire them in series with the others to show the amp 8 ohms per channel and turn the gain up a little to compensate.
