Quick Car Audio Amp Question

If my aftermarket head unit puts out 22 Watts RMS and 50 Watts Peak X 4 channels @ 4 ohms, then how much would it put out with just two channels?

Would it simply be 44 Watts RMS/100 Watts Peak X 2?

Thanks

Can you put that in an example? Like "You wire up the front left and front right speaker to..."
 
wire up the front left positive and the rear left negative to one speaker. do the same for the right.

I don't know if its safe/reccomended to bridge the outputs of a head unit, however, but thats not what you asked.

Thanks for the response.

Essentially what I was asking was if I just use my Head Unit to amp my front two speakers, would the power output from the head unit increase to the two speakers since I am no longer amping the rear speakers with it?
