Can I bridge rear right/left channels of 4-channel car CD player into one speaker?

Question

Hi all,
I have a car CD player, 45 watts per channel, 4 channels (front left/right, rear left/right). I would like to run the front left/right channels normally to two door speakers, but the two rear left/right channels into one woofer. It is not a dual-voicecoil woofer. Is this OK?

Answer 1

Sorry, no.

With VERY few exceptions, in-dash CD players are not designed to be bridged. Also, most CD players don't have a built-in crossover to cut the high frequencies from the rear speaker outputs.

You'll need to use a separate amplifier to power your woofer.

Answer 2

i have the same one. It is a very good head unit for the price. the watts are how much power goes to each speaker. you have 4 speakers in your car, therefore they are each getting 52 watts peak. The EQ3, in simplest terms is how it will make your music sound. It adjusts the bass, vocals, mids, highs, etc.. The high and low pass filters really only apply to subs, but what they do is adjust how many hz are played. For example, 50-100 hz is yuor bass, 150-250 is your mids, and 300-500 are your highs. If you want more bass for example, you would set the low pass to 90 which will filter out anything above 90hz. But you wont need this considering you are not running subs. Good luck!
