Sorry, blkwardog, I misunderstood your typing. I thought you meant if you bridged 2 channels. If you're simply disconnecting 2 channels, the other 2 don't get any more power. If you bridge both sets of channels, then each bridge would give you twice as much power or something similar.

I think he wants to run rear speakers off the HU and front off the amp, am I right, blkwardog? Anyway, you can't bridge HU, but you can bridge bridgeable amps.

Just disconnect the rears and leave others as is.
