New member Username: Spellman21Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-04 | I just purchased a 4 channel amp 800 watts bridged max, 2 ohm stable stereo 4 x 85 watts into 4 ohms RMS, 4 x 105 watts into 2 ohms RMS .. I have 4 speakers each with 4 ohm impeadances, and am wondering the best way to wire the speakers with this amp. Wiring them all in parallell gives me an ohm of 1, which i have read is deadly for the amp. Utterly confused in how to wire the speakers. Front 2 in parallell and back 2 in series?= 2 ohms + 8 ohms=10 ohms? is that efficient? Help would be GREATLY appreciated |

Bronze Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 53 Registered: Nov-04 | dont wire series or parallel. just front-left channel to front left-speaker, front-right channel to front-right speaker, etc. no need to get complicated. http://www.bcae1.com/ go to page 107 "system diagrams" on the menu pane on the right side, scroll down to the 4th from last diagram titled "4 channel input" |

Use 1 for front left, 2 for front right, 3 for rear left and 4 for rear right. Keep it simple. Anyways, if you wire the speakers in parallel, you'd be basically turning a stereo sound into a mono! That's not a wise choice. |
