Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 123 Registered: Aug-06 | i can buy a hifonics zeus ZXi 3406 amp, for 75 bucks, with 4X35watts at 4 ohm, for my 4 intereor speakers for my alpine type R 6.5s (250 peak) and blaupunkt "the clear ones" 6.5s (150 peak)... both speakers are 50watts rms and have been powered by my panasonic deck, but they suck cause of that, they need more juice... should i get this amp and will it really be enough or should i wait and get a better zeus amp later for alot more? and yes im going to use one of the 3 zeus amps and probably wont be persuaded to buy anything else unless i can get a killer matching amp for my sub, 1500-2500 watts worth... |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 126 Registered: Aug-06 | oh i didnt know i would need a ho alt, nm... someone told me to get a 2 channel amp for my 4 intereor speakers, i just put the wires from the front 2 in one channel and the back 2 in the other channel? i just divide the channel in half and that is how many each speaker is getting? |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 225 Registered: Apr-06 | Get a 4 channel.. there's no point in buying a 2 channel, you won't get the surround options if you bridge them. Sure, you can get a cheaper amp and run them a 2 ohms per channel, but it won't sound as good. Get a really nice 4 channel, or 2 really nice 2 channels. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 129 Registered: Aug-06 | and thanks mick, ill do that... but if an amp says 35X4 @ 4 ohms and 70X4 @ 2 ohms, can i run 35 to 2 and 70 to the other 2 at 2 ohms? the speakers say 4 ohms... werd... rofl, jk... |
Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 230 Registered: Apr-06 | For the most part, and check the amp specs first, any 4 channel amp that is capable of 2/3/4 channel should be able to run seperate impediances on the two bridgable channels. A bridgable channel is 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 on a 4 channel amp. This is because 1 and 2 act like a seperate amp from 3 and 4 when bridged or when run at a seperate impediance. |
Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 132 Registered: Aug-06 | yeah but how do you do it? you can only drop the ohms if you bridge the channel right? i want to use all 4 channels but run half of them at 2 ohm and feed my speakers more power... cause the alpines need more power than the blaupunkts... |
