will wiring 4ohm componets to 2 ohm ruin them?


Recommended Posts

i have a escalade and i have 1 set of 6.5 componets in front doors(crossovers,tweeters,woofers) and 1 set of componets in the rear doors and a set of 6x9s in the cargo area.. i have 1 4ch amp.. i have both sets of componets on the front 2 ch and the 6x9's on the rear 2 ch.. the amp is 2 ohm stable and puts out more power at 2ohm so i want to know how to wire BOTH sets of componets into the front 2 chs to have them on a 2 ohm load instead of 4ohm load... thx

you just get dirtier sound as you drop ohm level

^^This. I dont understand why people wire mids and highs down to 2 ohms, never made sense to me.

Unless the said speaker is rated @ 2 ohms and performs well. But that is only a rare handful of speakers.

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

standard 12 volt vehicles charge at ~14.4 volts so you would be getting 100w out of the amp
