how to wire 6 speakers to a 4 channel

[DylanBunch]

Im stuck on what ohm speakers I should buy and how to wire them all to my 4 channel. Im gonna get 2 nendo ft1s and I think 4 sundown neopros (definitely 4 mids). My amp is a kicker 350.4 that does 60x4 @ 4 ohms and 90x4 @ 2 ohms. The amp puts out more than rated (445 total rms) so I dont know what speakers I should wire it parallel and what speakers not to. I need help lol

two neos on channel 1 and two on channel 2. both speakers in a pair should go to the same side of the car (channel 1 is drivers side, for example.)

then hook up your tweets to channel 3 and 4.

for ohm load, it pretty simple. two coils in parallel will be half the resistance so you want two 4ohm coils to equal 2ohm.

BTW, your birth sheet you're quoting lied to you. unless you "listen" to non reactive resistors.

Lol yeah ive heard the birthsheets arent accurate for real world usage but I was stating it as a way to let you know it does more than rated. Cause its rated at 60x4 @ 4 and its blowing my 65 watt fosgates. And im not using the gain as a volume knob either lol

I ran 500w to a 100w 6.5" for years. its not the amp doing more than rated power, its your settings.

you could use a set of 100 hz bass blockers on your woofers. these are actually . non polarized capacitors dimple Fire will not see the load in ohms, heck... if you're running a sub, you can use them all your speakers

[the moose]

skip the dimple fire, it was. supposed to say '' the amplifier will not see the ohm load.'' the bass is probably killing your speakers because of either halving the ohm rating or not crossing them over correctly, so why not try the bass blockers?
Also, if you run an 8 ohm load expect to get half of the power (watts) that the amplifier is supposed to put out for 4 ohms.

instead of using the crossover on the amp, why???

very curious what the nominal load was vs the reactive load.....

I'll let it eat at you.
