and do the same for the negative wires
and make 100w by 2 channels

my speakers are 160 MAX watts
and i'd use 14g wire

anyone see any probleems with this?

comeon someone help me

 

Head Units are not designed to allow bridging channels. It will go into protect if lucky or it will blow up.

Agree with Alex. If it's got adequate protection it willl just shut down, if not - byebye output stage.

 

Like posted above..a big nono of what Not to do. Aside from that also..dont believe that your actually getting 50W X 4, more typically about 12-20 X 4

 

why not 50Wx4

 

When HU's say 50x4 it means 50x4 Maximum. I think they do it like that for marketing and eye catching. The RMS is typically half of the Max.
