Hey guys, I just bought a new reaction and am putting a new stereo in it. I ordered 2 sets (4 total) of MX770 speakers and an M400 amp. My question is in order to get full potential out of this combo I read that the speakers should be wired in series and the amp bridged. Any stereo guys out there that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Don't bother. Wire each speaker to the amp's individual outputs. Job done, no issues. The speakers are 4 ohms, amp is designed to run at 4 ohms. No reason to over think it.

when u wire in series and bridge u get 20 more watt amps pr channel
but when u run the amp bridged it now pull max amp draw at all times and gets amps hotter
I run 2 of the 400/4 s and it was sucking my battery down and the 1 bridged amp was 2 times hotter than the straight wired
I love the smaller sized amps and they are clear
as stated stay straight wired and thay will sip power when volume low

It's not going to make much difference.
