ABK1126 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 i just bought a kicker 350.4 and 2 pairs of kicker ks40 4 inch speakers i already have 4 speakers in my car 2 6x9s in the back 2 4x6s in the front and 2 ks13 tweeters my question is if i add these 4 new speakers to my front doors will my amp b able to handle all 10 speakers total? I plan on wiring each pair in parallel then in series to get a 4ohm load cuz i know it wont.handle a 1ohm load I know it might b over kill having 10 speakers but hey everyone has their own ways of thinking lol So plz help me with this they are for my front doors its gonna b 4 speakers on.each door so 4 speakers on each channel for the front channels And waht would be the best way to wire these Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yUmadBro Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) That amp only puts out 60 watts x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, so you could power two per chan. @ 4 ohm Edited August 3, 2012 by yUmadBro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABK1126 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 That amp only puts out 60 watts x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, so you could power two per chan. @ 4 ohm So it wouldnt handle if i put all 10 in just that amp? Cuz i cant have two amps cuz my eq only has one output for front and onefor rear and these amps only have inputs not outputs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as 10 I can't figure out a way for it to work. Maybe some one else can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABK1126 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Cuz i was thinking of wiring the 2 pairs in each door so 2 4" and a 4x6 and tweeter in parallel to get a 2 ohm loadfrom each then the 2 pairs in series for a 4 ohm load on one channel and the same way for the other door As for my 6x9s jst each straight to its own channel at 4 ohms Would this set up work?

It's gonna damage your amplifier if your mixing 2 ohm loads and 4 ohm loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the bass Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 That amp only puts out 60 watts x 4 channels @ 4 ohms, so you could power two per chan. @ 4 ohm So it wouldnt handle if i put all 10 in just that amp? Cuz i cant have two amps cuz my eq only has one output for front and onefor rear and these amps only have inputs not outputs Than add a Y-splitter to the frontoutput so your EQ can handle both amps.
