When you bridge, your amp effectively see 1/2 impedance so probably 2 ohms.
So for a smaller amp with less current storage, it is drawing lots of juice. Try "un-bridging" and see if that fixes the problem. You might want the extra power but you will know you are running out of current.

I'm not sure I want to think about it... migraine inducing? ;)
How was it as far as rattling? I put B-Quiet Extreme all through my trunk and doors. Definitely cut down on moving and shaking.<ul><li><a href="http://1.8t.org/~KMHPaladin/audi/bquiet">http://1.8t.org/~KMHPaladin/audi/bquiet</a></li></ul>

I used dynamat extreme, looks the same as what you've got.
I'm not gonna lie it rattles a lot. I know I could get rid of them but I'm really staring to get conservative about my weight. My past 2 cars got blown apart by bass, and I like the audi way to much to destroy it like that. I've got it down to about half the system now, and I still need to get lighter. I didn't do my doors like you did, mine were pretty solid. The trunk was a disaster zone though. Looks good!

thanks...
The doors were definitely worth doing, and I'd already taken them apart a couple times with the installation and everything so it wasn't a big deal. Well, that's a lie, Matt2.8NJ and I had a bit of trouble getting the mirrors and locks working when we put it back together, but I'll blame that on him. 
What do you think you'll eventually settle on? One 12? If I planned on keeping my car for longer I'd be really interested in something like HIS4 did, I've worked with fiberglass recently and it'd be a fun project, but I am going to reserve my efforts for the next car I think.
