I am looking at purchasing a PG R 8.0 4. Can I wire 2 mid range speakers in the front channels, and bridge the rear for the sub? ( Just thought I would double check, I don't forsee a problem, better safe than sorry.) Thank you.

Sure. Just be sure you do not place too low an impedance load on the amp (no lower than 4-ohms net on the bridged channels.) ------------- Support the12volt.com

Right, because it is 4 ohm stable correct? So if I had 2 4ohm speakers on the front ( L/R) and 1 4 ohm load bridged on the rear channels, I should be fine?

OK, I just thought of another obstacle. If I am only running one line out converter off the factory deck, and I want to use all the channels on the amp that means in reality I would need 2 sets of RCA's. Correct? Now is there an easy solution for that? This may sound dumb, but can you jump the output channel from an amp into the input channel? Example being, I would run the the output from the deck into the rear input. Can I jump the output from the amp into the front channel input. Or is that a no-no?

That will work, so long as you're okay with having front signal on both front and rear speakers. It'll also mean you'll lose your fader controls.
