question about amp wiring.

k guys i got a question about wiring the amp.....what i got:
jensen 2 channel amp
precision power 4 channel amp /w 1 channel broken.
1 subwoofer

is there any way i can use 2 channels from the ppi to power the front and bridge the other 2 channels, since 1 channel is broken... to power the sub...

then use the jensen 2 channel to power the rear speakers...........

pls tell me this works...... or u guys got any other ideas?

Well... I would give it a shot but I don't think it'll work. When you bridge 2 channels together, you are taking a positive from one channel and a negative from another channel. If one channel doesn't work then you will only be running one positive or negative to your sub which won't do you any good. Maybe just your positive or negative terminal is broken on that channel and the other terminal works. I would just test it and see if it works.

i'm using the jensen to power the sub right now......... i want to have all four speakers to have stereo..... but if worse comes to worse.... i'll probably just run the rear in mono...... i'll just goto my installer and ask him if he could do this....... cuz i bought the amp from my friend and he said u can bridge 1 channel and the broken channel and run it mono.....

not "supposed" to be in mono, just that theoretically you get less destruction of your stage by going mono.

theoretically...

edit: just like theoretically, rearfill should only be playing midbass frequencies, shoul dbe on very low power, and should not be located low. supposed to be that way? not realy, but its just the theory for an ideal rearfill setup.
