Can you bridge the speaker connections on a hu?

ok i have a pasasonic c7301u, now i have 2 jl audio tr650 cxi's. I have a profile ap1200 running two re 8's

i have a 91 toyota mr2, and well i dont have space for a new amp (i do but itll be a hassle and im struggling for cash)

so ya the stock rear speakers, are 2 inches....lol and i can fit 4 inch speakers in there but my subs are in there so they really serve no purpose

so my question, can i take the rear speaker wires and bridge them with the front speaker wires?

front left + with the rear left -

front right + with the rear right -

can i do that?

thanks

No, the amplifiers in headunits are already internally bridged, you either wouldn't gain or lose anything, or you would blow the headunit's amp, either way it's not a good idea.

its great, especially for the price (ebay, its about 110 shipped)

thats cool, i was looking at the HA1040. the rms watts it puts out was just what i was looking for. so it should be good.

Yes, just connect all of the speaker wires straight into the red wire.
