Can I bridge the speaker level output from the headunit to power my front speakers

I'm not a big fan of rear fill and was wondering if I could bridge the front and rear speaker level outputs from my headunit for 104 wt peak per front speaker? (my headunit is good for 52 wt per channel).

Not a good idea. Headunits arent meant to do that. Also realistically you are getting about 15 watts per channel, not the 52 it claims. This is common in most aftermarket HUs.

Yeah I meant 104 max. Thanks Don. I have another questions while your on if you don't mind...I had some cheap sony speakers (before I ordered my pioneers) and they were 50 wt rms. My headunit was 240 wt pk, so probably around 22 wt rms, and the sound was very distorted when the volume was around 75% of the max. Was this just because of the crappy Sony speakers, or could it be because of the crappy Boss headunit too (ordered a Clarion Headunit too)? I listen to music with the bass turned up all the way and with flat treble btw.
