Texas Tech Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have a Mb Quart Component set, the QSC 210, they are rated 70 Watts RMS at 4 ohm. Can i basically wire them in parallel on the same channel (obviously) creating a two ohm load. this would save me from using two channels. Or maybe i am confused, and that is is a 4 ohm load with both crossovers wired in parallel? My amp puts 100 W per channel at 4 ohms and 150 W at 2 ohm Either way is good for me, but can i wire the component set in parallel, i know some SQ will be lost in exchange, but it would really allow me to Quote Baylor University Accounting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 usually each side of a set (1 tweeter and 1 mid = 4ohms) the only way to make a 2ohm load would be wire all 4 to 1 channel, id wun 1 side to each channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 come on think outside of the box: the pos & neg from the comp set (4ohm) to amp just needs to be twisted together parallel with the other comp set (4ohm) pos and neg to amp. use a volt meter and make sure, but it will read 2ohms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 imo thats HELLA ghetto, id never recommend that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 since when is that ghetto? Quote you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.

AI James Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 all 4 speakers 2 1 channel on an amp that doesnt make really any more power by wireing it like that, wht would you even want to run them on 1 channel considering you only get 10 watts over rms that way and 30 the correct way. as well as having a whole come set on 1 channel of an amp GL with processing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbreudi Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 do not do, there are a few reason. 1. unless you have two SETS then wireing them to one channel will give you only a left or right signal making the music sound horible 2. if the amp only have one channel with a load on in and the othr channel just sitting there, it can cause amp damage 3. you actualy get MORE power with 2 x 4ohm then with 2 x 2ohm. If you wire one channel to each side of the compoents they will get 100 watts, thats over power by 30 watts. If wires at 2 ohms parelle on one channel thats only 150 watts, only 5 watts above power, so you would have to set the gains heigher anywaay so basicaly unless you have a totol of 4 woofers, tweets and crossovers, dont do it Quote TEAM SUNDOWN 4 Nightshade 15"s 2 Sundown SAZ-4500 8 Deep Cycle batts 1998 Cadillac Catera SPLMAX CUP 2008 Fourth Place Overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquill1 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Either way is good for me, but can i wire the component set in parallel, i know some SQ will be lost in exchange, but it would really allow me to Allow you to what? Are you trying to power 2 sets of components? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 i think i understand the question more now... you are asking if you can power both left side and ride side of the car off one channel... no and accordman, this isnt ghetto, this is how you hook up multiple comp sets like whats going into chicken's caddy on the t15k, using parallel-series wiring kbreudi, how does that cause amp damage - if you have a 4 channel and only use 2 channel, nothing is going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
