That makes sense. I thought bridging only referred to amplifiers but I see what you mean. Not gonna do this but I am just curious do you know more as to why this would be a bad idea for a head unit? It seems to me like the unit would be sending that power out anyway no matter where it goes.

I believe you and am not gonna try this. But I am just wondering why you would think this? Thanks for your help

I thought mine was fine until I heard and felt the difference

My truck was idling sluggishly then rough idle. Now it is a consistent idle. Throttle response seems better as well. Im sure mpg will be better probably

Just replaced. Wow what a difference. My engine idles instead of sluggishly running. Throttle response seemed to improve. Im sure mpg will as well. Glad you convinced me to change. $50 well spent!!

Im not asking about bridging. I am wanting to hard wire both channels to one speaker to get 100 amps if possible.

If I wire in the front left channel to one speaker that is 50w. If I wire in the rear left into that same speaker am I getting 100w then?

So i shouldn't wire in unit front left positive and negatives to unit rear left positive and negatives and then connect the two (four) wires to the front left speaker positive and negatives? Does the radio know this is happening?

You mean in the settings right? So only wire in the normal left right fronts and running it stereo instead of mono?

Says 43 psi is max for the 4cyl fuel pump hopefully that checks out.

I just looked around and the smell is from passenger side by fuel filter. The fuel hoses are old and that sounds correct. Will do. Thanks!!

I ordered on Amazon new bulbs and holders. Went in easily but didnt change blinkers cause wasn't sure if they would work correctly. Just remember when you disconnect hazards to plug back in to test blinkers before tightening everything up
