Ihave a Sony Xplod XM-460GTX amp and one speaker. I am looking to get the most wattage out of my amp to the speaker. It is a 4/3 channel amp. I know I can bridge the rear channel speakers but on the front channels it doesn't show that option to bridge, not sure if I can also bridge the front channel speakers or if I can put the front right and front left channels the same speaker as the bridged rear channels to gain the extra wattage to the speaker. I looked at the schematic and it seems like the front channels are wired internally as the rear and that I would be able to bridge the front channels also but I'm not sure. Can you answer this?

THE ABOVE LINK WILL TAKE YOU TO THE SONYSTYLE WEBSITES COPY OF YOUR AMPLIFIER'S USER MANUAL WHICH INCLUDES PRODUCT HOOK-UP AND DIAGRAMS. YOU WILL BE USING THE LEFT CHANNELS POSITIVE AND THE RIGHT CHANNELS NEGATIVE FOR A BRIDGED CONNECTION. THE CORRECT SPEAKER LOAD IS 4 OHMS MINIMUM. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER ASSISTANCE....V

left positive and right negative-make sure the speaker that you intend to run in bridged mode is 4 ohms or you will kill your amp

No, because the would require bridgeing the front channels and this amp does not allow for that. Rear only so it can only operate in a 3 or 4 channel mode.

monoblock amps are NOT bridgiable. there is a good chance you will burn up the amp if you try it.
