"I think you are still confused a bit about the bridged mode for an amp. I believe you are referring to being rear speakers being wired in parallel or series, not having an amp bridged."
Bridged is terminology from telco. Phone wires underground come up and may go in two directions where it's bridged. A bridge tap is where wires were connected to a line. It all greatly changes the impedance which mattered in the analog world. When digital lines were integrated into the same cable all the bridge taps were removed. Different terms for different applications. Ohms law applies to all of it the same.
The audio world sees it all from a different perspective being that power and frequency rule. I still am in awe when a amp fries wires together. Resistance is futile.
