bridging the remaining 2 channels to the center stage.

Ummmm... Why would you do that? Are you upgrading the center channel speaker? The sound coming out of it is negligible at best with music. The only real audio that comes out of it is Sync commands and phone calls. Even if you are upgrading it, why bridge to that speaker? You'd be way better off bridging the 4 channels down to 2 to power the rear speakers or, better yet, Doing that for the front door woofers and running the front tweeters and rear doors on the other 4channel amp. If you're going to such lengths with the subs and you're also using a 360.3 processor, you should be planning active on the front stage.

Leave the center channel stock off from the factory amp. Replacing it and/or amping it is the equivalent of pissing $100 bills down the toilet claiming they flush better than $1 bills.

Good luck with the install.

Yeah, but probably no worse than jumping it 90ft to a total crash as seen in the infamous YouTube video, or jumping over sand dunes, or crawling over rocks, or hauling ass through backwoods trails, etc etc. but thanks for the encouraging support there fellow audio guy.
dont take it that way. im just saying that the w7 is a very accurate speaker capable of producing very low frequencies, more so than other speakers. i had a customers car that had 2 w 13w7's. his car had many loose bolts after about 3 months of constant pounding from the speaker. they all had to be retightened and we had to add threadlocker on them to make sure they didnt come loose again.... of course it was a gm......

im rooting for you on this one, dont worry. im just stating facts as i have personally seen them. if your guy doing the system is good, then you wont have any problems.

i think a sealed is best for this setup. since the air will be directly entering the cab you might get port noise if you went with a ported box of any type.

and never say you wont go bigger.... you always do. haha
