Bridging?

I want to get a 4 ch. amp instead of a 5 ch. to save some cash.
I've got four 50 W RMS speakers and one 10" 250 W RMS sub. I would like to bridge the speakers and sub so I won't have to purchase a 4 ch. amp.

Is this possible? If so, how do I wire them?

Thanks

Relax, sorry. I want to get a 4 ch. amp so I don't have to purchase a 5 ch. amp. I have found an answer to my question, but thanks anyways.

New question and sorry if I am a nuisance. Would it be ok to run a 2 ohm amp to 4 ohm speakers? Or would that not work, or just affect the sound quailty?

it will work fine, the speakers determine the ohm load the amp sees.

if its a 4ohm speaker on each channel the amp will see 4ohms

to get two ohms you can wire two 4ohm speakers in parallel then the amp would see 2ohm

not 2 channels, just two pairs of connections in case you need to run more than one speaker lead.
