2 speakers...4 ohms...what do u mean front/rear together? should it be on just 1 bridged channel or each speaker on a different channel?

you bridge a 4 chan amp so that it is 2 channels. you take the right front positive and the right rear positive and put them together and the same with the negatives then the same with the left side you take the left front pos and the left rear pos and splice them together and then the same with the negatives then you have 2 channels not 4. is this the way you did it?

so you are not using the 2 rear channels? sounds like the amp is faulty.
