Radio wiring help

[Kolton]

I bought a boss radio with 240 watts output over 4 60 watt channels. I do not intend to use an amp only the power provided by the radio. My question is if I only have 2 speakers to power can I bridge the channels together like you can on an amplifier? If so ....how ?(see pic)

By looking at that schematic, I'd say you can't bridge it. Is that the only diagram there Is? Normally if bridgeable there will be multiple schematics.

That's the only diagram it can with. Which 2 wires should I use to hook to the speakers? I've never wired speakers up before, I appreciate any help you can give me.

I wouldn't bridge a radio period.
If you do you will smell it
If that radio is Bridgeable it will say so....
Some older pioneer radios you could and power a sub woofer a little.
But most smoked

I'd hook up to the front left and right, make sure your positive and negative match. Usually the negative side of the speaker wire has a black stripe. Positive may be indicated with a red dot on the speaker itself.

I wouldn't bridge it but the instructions are pretty straight forward it tells you what colors to use for positive and negative speaker hook up at each channel
