How to hook up 6 speakers to a 4 channel

Recommended Posts

so i was thinking after i get my new sub install done, im going to be upgrading my speaker amp.

but this got me wondering, since im going to be running 6 speakers (2 tweets and 4 6.5")

how would i arrange those wires on a 4 channel amp?

lol no lie im a fucking newb when it comes to door speakers.

but i was thinking something in the neighborhood of a crescendo 1100.4(or sundown/audioque)

and some audioque 6.5 and tweets(or crescendo)

will can you explain to me the process of how i would use a cross over if i have 2 tweets on the dash, 2 6.5s on the driver/passenger doors and 2 6.5"s on the rear dash.

ahh interesting skullz. so for example the crescendo 1100.4 does 2x600w@4ohm Bridged so i would just connect all 4 6.5s onto the rear chanells bridged?(also for that, would all the 6.5s have to be 4 or 8 ohms?) and just have the tweets getting the front channels?

I assume you are talking supertweets do as skullz recommends.

yes haha.

so for that example stated above, the crescendo 1100.4 does 2x600 @ 4ohm bridged.

so since id be using the rear channels to the 6.5s they'd be getting 150rms each. but to wire all 4 to 4ohms, what would each individual 6.5's impedance need to be?

Fronts will have one tweeter per channel and run two 6.5's in parallel per channel rear.

lol i guess i'm not phrasing my question correctly.

so when i go to the crescendo website and order 4 pairs of PWX6s (6.5" speakers)

should i pick them as 4ohm or 8 ohm speakers.

and which ever impedance, i connect all 4 positives in 1 speaker terminal and all the negatives in the negative speaker terminal into the bridge configuration.

or will i have to do some wiring between the actual speakers themselves?
