will wiring 4ohm componets to 2 ohm ruin them?


Recommended Posts

If i have 2 sets of componets the are 100 watts rms each at 4ohms and im running them off 2chs that only rms 75w at 12.6 but 100w at 14.6 at 4ohm.. if i bridge them at 2ohms so i can get alot more out of the speakers will it kill them since they r 4ohm speakers.. if not then whats the best way to wire them.. thanks and please help

Uh what. Im not seeing the problem. If your amp does 100 watts at 4 ohms and your speakers are 4 ohms and handle 100 watts then just hook up one set per channel. Or did i miss something?

Are the speakers 100 watts for 1 or for a pair?

it does do 100w rms at 14.6v but im not running 14+v.. so the amp only does 75w rms at 12.6.. i want the speakers louder so i want to wire them different to get the extra power at 12.6v that you get if they were on a 2ohm load if that makes sense.. its a 4ch and the 2 rear ch are running 2 ohm 6x9's and i have 2 sets(4 speakers) of componets on the front 2 ch so i dont want to under power them so much.. im a noob so any advice will b appreciated

Just parallel the speaker in each door and it wont hurt them. At least if im catching what youre saying right.

thats it i only have one cross over in each door for now never got to put the others in.... :ehh:
