Brian2435 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 so im gonna wire up two home speakers (8 ohms each) to a car amplifier(because they're rms rating is more than i can find home receivers for without spending over $300) so i was just gonna hook up a car amp in my house to power them. so i have two questions: 1. is the only way to get a true left and right sound from the speakers is to hook them up to a 2 channel amplifier? im pretty sure you cant bridge the two speakers to one monoblock or bridge them to 2 channels each on a 4 channel amp, because it would be giving the speakers the same output, not left and right. 2. is there any negative to wire 8 ohm speakers to a car amp channel, because most dont rate the amplifier at 8 ohms, typically 4 ohms or lower. would this only just reduce the power output of the amplifier?

Brian2435 Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just realized, could I bridge the 2 left speaker outputs to power the left speaker, while doing the same but with the right speaker on a 4 channel amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadewills Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Bridge channels 1 and 2 on the 4 channel amp and plug to left speaker. Bridge 3 and 4 channel and plug to right speaker. Use RCA splitter and put red RCA to both plugs for channels 3 and 4. Use another RCA splitter and put white RCA to both plugs for channels 1 and 2. This will give you true left and right with decent power out of the amp.
