Kind of depends.

-Bridging it self doesnt, it stays the same. assuming the final impedance is the same.

BUT
-Lowering the impedance by either using lower impedance speakers or by bridging (to lower the impedance) does have a small effect on s/n.. The increase is small though, and hardly worth worrying about sense its still far below what we can hear.

Basicaly, dont worry about it.
