ham4864 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 i have 1 4ch amp rated 100 watts x 4 @ 4ohms i then have 2 8ohm speakers wired in parallel for a 4ohm load per ch. The question is,is each speaker seeing 100 watts or is each speaker seeing 50 watts a piece or a total of 100 watts. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6

ham4864 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 50 each ok so now if i drop that down to 2ohms it is rated at 150 per ch. that 150 will be divided by 4 correct. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6

Wiring 4 in parallel for a 2 ohm impedence? Then yes it your be 150/4 or 37.5 per speaker. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

blownengine Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 The gain IS NOT a volume knob. Set it to where the amp doesnt clip. 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT (Yea its got a Hemi)Alpine CDA-105KnuKonceptz 0ga CCA Big 3 with Yellow Top 15" SoundQubed HDC3DC Audio 1.2K (Bass)Pioneer 6x9's (Front)Pioneer 6.5's (Rear)Kicker 3.5's (Dash)Sony amp on the highs.

Set it to where the amp doesnt clip. thank you for your help.I know how to set the gains with a DMM method but that is not accurate.I need to invest in a o-scope. thanks again. 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6
