Which amp should i use for coaxial?

[khaotickyle]

I have four 4ohm coaxial speakers running about 70 watts each. I wasn't sure whether to us a 2 channel or 4 channel and how many watts the amp should be. Since the 2 channel has only 2 sets of postive and negatives, is it fine to run to 2 speaker to one set?

If you already own the 2 channel then you can wire up a pair of coaxials to each other then to each channel and the amp will see 2 ohms so it will be 2 speakers on one channel and 2 speakers on another. A 4 channel would be better and since the coaxials are 70w rms each look for a 4 channel that is at minimum 70w x 4 @ 4 ohms (you can get a stronger amp if possible just be easy on the gains). What is the rms on the 2 channel you have at 4 ohms and at 2 ohms.

Yeah, the coaxials would work on a 2 channel if you wire 2 of them in parallel, and put it in each channel, and whether you get the 4 channel or 2 channel, it should match the rms of the coaxials just to be safe.

Edit: Damn, got ninja-ed lol

If you ran two 4 ohm speakers off of a channel that would b two ohms per channel. See what the power is at 1 channel and what power is at 1 channel bridged. Why not just get an mb quart 80x4 ? And run 4 channels?

the 2 channel has

100 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohm

200 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohm

400 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohm Bridged RMS

the 4 channel has

50 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohm

100 Watts x 4 @ 2-Ohm

200 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohm Bridged RMS
