Does anyone know how or if it is possible to bridge to front speakers to run a mid-rang and tweeter on both the left and right front channels from a CDA-7863 ? and if so........what ohm level would it be pulling, and would it fry the hu. I am trying to stay away from crossovers, and just use the internal crossover on the CDA-7863. The front speakers will be Boston Acoustic 6 1/2's w/seperate tweeters.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Dantax

It is possible, but the speakers will distort at about 15 or sooner on the volume control. The amplifier is not powerful enough to properly power the BA speakers.
