6 x 4ohm speakers on a 2channel (2 Ohms Stereo Stable) amplifier

[thelivingflesh]

Hello everyone.
I got a Kenwood Excelon amplifier X621 which is:

• 2 channel and 2 Ohms Stereo Stable / 4 Ohms Mono (Bridged) Stable
• 179 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
• 305 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
• 612 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohm

Then i got 6 speakers JVC CS-V527(200Watt max and 27watt rms each) on 4 ohm

Need Help in:

Connecting all 6 speakers to the amplifier in such a way that the amp does not sustain damage & maximum efficiency is achieved

P.S: Dont want to add another amp as there is already one for the sub.

Thanks....Kindly tell me a diagram if possible on how to wire them all.

27 watts rms?

 

Why not just get 4 better real speakers?

 

You really can't.

 

You can wire 3 in parallel for 1.34 ohms and send 3 to each channel, and hope the amp can deal with it. But you will be driving it hard to power 3 speakers per channel and more than likely it'll go thermal.

 

Or series 3each for 12 ohm per channel, which will give you hardly any power

 

Or you can series/ parallel all six fir a nominal 6 ohm load or 2.37 ohm load mono

 

Or just cut the dumb shit and run 2 parallel to each channel

here in pakistan, our prime minister has stopped the import of these items, unbelievable...+ 100% duty on anything available here so kind of a crap situation. 

I guess ill hook the rear 2 on a 2 channel amp.

Ok gotcha. Makes sense.

 

Well being that you only need 162 watts to power all 6 to thier full RMS, and judging by the type and amount of speakers I'm assuming you're going for "loud" more so than sound quality.

 

So I'd do the series parallel to mono load. At 6 ohm.

 

Take each set of 3 speakers, run them in series. Which is positive from one to negative if the other then positive of that one to negative of the last one. Now you have 3 speakers Daisy chained together with one positive and one negative empty on the first and last speaker.

 

Do that also to the second group of 3.

 

Then take these 2 groups of 3 and send both groups single open positive terminal to the positive of the amp right channel and then thier empty negative terminals to the negative input on left channel.

 

You now have a 6 ohm mono load which will yield about 400 watts to all of them collectively from that amp.

Here's how each set should be wired.

 

Nevermind the pic says 8 ohm, only one I could find.

 

So see how you are left with a positive and negative?

 

You hook that to the amp bridged  

 

I'm not sure if they are using left channel or right channel as positive on your amp, I tried looking at pics of the amp but can't make it out, but you'll be able to see it clearly on your Amp.

 

You just hook up each set as it's "own" speaker to the amp bridged.

 

Do this for each set of 3
