triplec19 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 So i ordered 2 O2 audio speakers and though i was getting 4 ohm speakers, but they were 8 and i put down a deposit so i got stuck with them. Im using a Sundown audio 100.4 amp. I have a pair of RF T2's im running off the first two channels. I plan on running my two 8 ohm speakers in parallel on the third pair of channels and leaving the 4 set open. Will these speakers see 100 watts each? If i just ran them each off the 3rd and 4th channel this would damage the amp correct being that the rockfords are 4 ohm? Quote
splzx3 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Did u make topic of this all ready? If so go back and find it again Quote ________________________________________________________________________ deepsilencer, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:32, said: splzx3, on 22 Aug 2011 - 17:27, said: i had my fun on one of his videos...till he blocked me then i got my mother into it lol after her he closed the comments xD lol your mom is a G! WTF, I never thought I'd have a conversation about cross dressers and trans-genders on a car audio forum.
Skullz Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Single speakers or are they sets of speakers? Run each speaker or set per channel and use the fader to level out the volume to all of them. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
triplec19 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 I have one set of 4 ohm rockford components, and 2 individual 8ohm O2 audio speakers. Why question is should i run the rockfords off channel 1 and 2, and run the 2 O2's in parallel down to 4 ohm on the 3rd channel. OR run the rockfords how i mentioned earlier, or run 1 O2 off the 3rd channel and the other off the 4th channel Quote
Skullz Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Just run the RF set on the front and the O2's on the rears per channel but if your brave you can bridge the rear and run them @4ohm mono just make sure you set the power levels as needed.

triplec19 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 You can run different ohm speakers on the same amp? Is this because it is an AB amplifier? Also by bridging, the positives from the O2's would be together and use both the positive from 3rd and 4th channel? And the negatives would be wound together also and use both the negatives on the amp? Quote
Skullz Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 You'll run it as a 3 channel amp with the rear channels bridged and wire the speakers in parallel for the 4ohm load but it will be mono signal instead of stereo since you bridged the amp and combined the signal.

triplec19 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Is this correct with the front wired normally? Also is this safe for the speakers, i know to be careful with the power delivered Edited January 2, 2012 by triplec19 Quote
triplec19 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Bump, tryn to install today, thankss Quote
BobbyG2 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) For all the amps I've used the Left Pos is the Pos and the Right Neg is the Neg. When bridged you only use Two of the Four connectors. If you still have the amps manual check it to make sure, and then run two sets of wires using the same terminals on the amp.
