Default Alpine PDX-5 bridgable?

Is the Alpine PDX-5 amp bridgable? I want to use the Left f/r and Right f/r channels to power my front 6.5 components.

Have 5.25s in the rear, but faded to the front (I think it sounds better).

TIA, Bryan

Ah, I should have remembered!

I bridged my 4.150... you have to bridge it manually there's no switch. Dont run it under 4 ohm bridged.

So, I can bridge a PDX-5? If so, how? (yea, I'm audio challanged. But I did manage to install a 9960 myself. With ALOT of forum help).

Thanks, Bryan

You may want to call alpine to verify. This is how I did my 4.150

LEFT SPEAKER
Channel 1 +
Channel 2 -


RIGHT SPEAKER
Channel 3 +
Channel 4 -


I dont recall if you need an RCA splitter or if you can connect ONLY to channel 1 and 3 on the rca inputs. On that I would ask Alpine.
