    a usaul 4 way amp is around a 600 watt area so a 2 channel bridged will be around 2x 300 watt. so the bottom line is really. i hope you have a decent set of 6x9's to take the power. otherwise exspect alot of distortion and finally they will pop!

    Default amp

    most 4 channel amps av a switch on them to only run 2 channels out of da 4, even if u cant do that just use the 2 channel with a (FULL PASS) setting. it wont do any damage not 2 use the otha 2 channels anyway

    Am i right in thinking that you could just use a four channel amp to power 2 6x9's, and the other two channels to bridge a sub.
