To bridge or not to bridge

[CPT.scratchandsniff]

Quick wiring question here.  Besides losing left to right fading,  is there any reason why you shouldn’t bridge the left and right midrange on the front channels of an amp?  Specifically hooking up 2x sundown audio Neo pro 8” 4 ohm mids, on the front channels of a Rockford 25 to life 5 channel.    Ratings is 50w X4 @ 4 ohm but could see  300w X2 @ 2 ohms bridged 

 

would benefit 150w ea speaker as opposed to 50w ea but would leave me with a mono signal.    wwyd?

I would bridge both channels to get 300W each side and then use passive crossovers so you can get the tweeters powered too. That way you preserve stereo and balance and you are giving 300W to those mids which is their actual power.
