With that being said my question is can the left and right be bridged being diff wattage outputs. I know front and rear can be bridged but that will have different wattage for one channel (125x2) bridged will be a lot stronger than (50x2).
Im just trying to get the most out of my amp without leaving the rear channels unused ??? Any suggestions ??
Hmm I was just checking out the manual for this amp.

I dont know if what you are describing can be done with that amp, it seems like you can only bridge the front L/R channels together to be 200wx1 and the rear L/R channels together at 50wx1.

My suggestion would be to throw that 500/5 on ebay and order yourself the 900/5 It can do the front/rear bridging with equal power outputs.
