I currently have memphis components. (2) M-class 4x6s in the front and (2) PR 6x9s in the back. Right now i have the head unit powering all the components and i have a pair of kicker 12" L7s powered by a kicker zx1500.1 amp. I am wanting to upgrade my component sound by getting a new pair of kicker KS 6x9s and powering them with a 200 or 250rms 2 channel amp. After that i was planning on bridging the head unit power to the 2 4x6s.

I just wanted to run that by you guys to see if you would think it is a good idea...I am not set on anything right now so give me any suggestions to what you would think to be the best set up.

I don't.

I recommend that you power the front speakers with the amplifier. If you really want the 6X9's to have external amplification, then get a 4 channel amplifier instead. And you can't bridge a head units internal amplifier.

Not to mention the fact that you are gonna be looking at a new head unit if you try "bridging" the speaker outputs on the current one.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
