    It's rated for 2ohm operation in stereo mode, so 4ohms bridged should be fine.

    helo, so bridging in mono 4ohm load is ok, i heard that amps do not like to bridge unless 8ohm. anyone that has tried can chime in.

    That's because most amps aren't 2ohm stable in stereo mode.

    Why do you want to bridge it anyway ? It's more than capable, if you feel a need to not waste the extra channel of amplification, use one channel for the highs and one for the lows on the center.

    i did hook the lsic in bridge with the receiver sounds good,it handles the lsic 4ohm no problems. i decided to connect high and lows stereo modes, sounds good also. I decided to use these fxia4 instead , got me another amp for center.

    Yes, it's OK but not recommended. The bass gets less than desirable when you do this, amongst other things. Can you say loose?
