graham0599 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I was wondering if on a 4 channel amp you can use each channel for something different. I have an active crossover to do this with. I would use a 2into1 rca connector for channel 1 & 2. Than just the regular two channel for the 6x9's ex. Ch1- tweeters Ch2- pair of 6.5's Ch3&4- 6x9's I hope this makes sense, I've got it in my head right at least. Thanks for any help.

Yes you can the tweeters will be at 2 ohms (if they are 4 ohm tweets) and so will the 6.5's. the by 9's will be at 4 ohms and everything should be fine.

Sonic Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Bad idea, if you do that you would not maintain the left and right stereo configeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham0599 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I understand i'd lose balance. But would it still function "properly?" I'd wire: 1. The tweets to 8ohm, until i get 2 more 2. Mids to 2ohm 3. 6x9's to 4ohm Quote My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 No your tweeters and 6.5's would be in momo, they should be in stereo, hence, left and right. If you have to, then what would be more workable would be to pair one tweeter and one 6.5 on one channel (1) and the next set on channel (2) , and maintain your left and right input on your rca's. If you really want to run active then you will have to use the entire 4 channels for the tweeters and 6.5's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I would not do it. Will it work, yes. You will lose not only balance control, but seperate left and right sound. The number 1 reason not to do this, you shouldn't show different ohm loads to different channels on the amp. It would be fine to show a certain ohm load to the rears, and a different to the fronts, but not seperate ohm's within those. If I am understanding you correctly, your front left(or right) channel will see 8 ohms, and the other front channel will see 2 ohms. Bad for the amp and bad for everything hooked up to it.
