Parallel power/bridge question.
I have an amp M4-3000D. If I run 4 speakers Bridged off the front channel. How much power can I expect. The speakers I am running are 100 RMS and 200 peak. Not looking for a firm answer because most amps inflate there power. But here are the specs for my amp. Thanks.

So looking at the detailed specs I guess I would need a different amp. The two I have found that support full bridge fictions are:
PN4.-1000D and RZ4-3000D Any others I should consider? Thanks

You can't bridge 4 4ohm speakers on the front channels. That puts your ohm load at 2ohms and the amp isn't stable to be bridged at 2ohms. I remember detailing the bridging aspect to you as 1 4ohm speaker across 2ch of the amp. In the end a 4ch amp will net you 2 4ohm speakers bridged. I would suggest doing as T mentioned and putting the speakers in parallel which would give the amp a 2ohm load but not bridged. That's a sister amp to the SS pn4.1000 so you should wind up with 125 watts per speaker in that configuration.
