Bridged Mono

Hi everyone, have a super basic question...

If you take a stereo amp which supports bridged mono, the watts usually double, i.e. 100 watts @ 8 ohms -> 200 watts @ 8 ohms. I have noticed even if the amp is rated at 150 watts @ 4 ohms, the specs do not show 300 watts @ 4 ohms bridged. Is 4 ohms not rated/recommend in bridged mode?

Thanks!

UPDATE: Sorry should have searched more thoroughly this was answered here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/will-the-4-ohm-double-if-i-bridge-my-mcintosh

Many amps don’t allow bridged mono in 4 or 2 ohms.
check your Manual, or contact the Mfgr. 

Bee there, and I found higher quality pro amps with support low ohm bridging. 
QSC ETC.
