That’s 2ohm stereo. It says right below only 4ohm bridged.

You can bridge 4 ohm speakers but not 2 ohm speakers with that amp. If you have 8 ohm speakers you have other wiring options as well. If it sounds good to you why mess with it?

Very true. I cant argue with that lol. Maybe some of the smart guys can chime in and give you better wiring options. I have an idea but will wait for other responses.

I never put enough thought into it
jl audio 600/6
Channels 1&2 dd b3 horns
Channels 3&4 6MR500-NDY-8 ran at a 4 ohm load
Channels 5&6 8MR500-ndy-4 ran at 4 ohm load

Every thing I just put I have doubled...ran the exact same way make sense....2 amps 4 6.5 speakers 4 8 speakers 4 horns

Add a 4 channel micro amp for the horns in the fairing.
Run the 6.5" 8ohm speakers bridged parallel to channels 1 and 2 from each amp. That gives them close to 100 watts each. Then bridge the 8" 4 ohm speakers to 3,4,5&6 on each amp. just doubled your power by adding a small amp.
Wait for someone smarter than me to confirm
