Hi, i just installed a 25 x 4 RMS amp to push my infinity 5 x 7's. It seems as if the speakers are requiring more power. If i bridge the amp and run the speakers in parallel then that would drop the amp to 2 ohms and give me twice as much power to each speaker right? Any input is appreciated. Thanks Guys

Yes this is correct but you will loose your left right balance.

bridge one 5x7 to each side of the amp many amps will bridge and only use the left input to run , if this is the case you will keep your left to right balance.
