Ok, you said something about some rear speakers, then something about subs. Why don't you start over...slowly...with what you WANT to do, what you HAVE done, and what is NOT working like you want it to.

I have 2 subs hooked up to the REAR section of the amp. I have two more subs NOT hooked up to anything. I want to hook the two that are NOT hooked up to the FRONT section on the amp. When i do hook them up the FRONT section doesnt give power to the other 2 subs. So when all four are hooked up only 2 are working.

Re: How to bridge an amp.
why do you need so many subs, jesus christ i would be def
but run them all to the same out/in puts...usually if its a two channel amp, you run one set of wires to the positive side of the first channel and the other set to the negative side of the second channel, well thats how it is with my amp

Re: How to bridge an amp.
WTF is the front and rear? its a 4 channel amp which means it should have the connections all lined up for the 4 diffrent channels. The real problem you might be experianceing is that the amp you have is made for speakers and component speakers. I doubt that thing will be able to power 4 subwoffers nonethe less fully power two. I would try to get something a litll emore powerful.

Re: How to bridge an amp.
Chances are you're overlooking something having to do with the input signal, like you're only feeding a signal to the rear amp channels still. So when you've got all 4 subs looked up, only the 2 subs on the rear channels are working?
