Whut? I'd like to see your reasoning for that.

I'd like to see your reasoning for that as well.

The CORRECT answer to his question is: Yes, it is possible to wire 4 speakers to a 300x1 bridged amplifier so that they get 75 Watts each. For example, you can split the drivers into two pairs, then either (1) wire the drivers in each pair in parallel, then wire the pairs together in series, or (2) wire each pair in series, then wire the pairs them together in parallel.

However, I wou not suggest doing either, as the drivers we are talking about here are MIDRANGE drivers, which usually means that you want to use them to obtain a stereo image, not a mono image. As the amplifier in question is bridgeable to 300Wx1, it can be assumed that it will driver 150Wx2 into 2 ohms. In that case, split the drivers into two pairs as before, then wire the drivers in each pair in parallel, then connect each pair to a separate channel on the amplifier.
