eliassami5 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) your best option would be to only use 8 of the speakers or get 4 more speakers and two 4 channel amps. Because trying to run 6 speakers off each channel on a 2 channel amp wont turn out that well..plus each speaker wont be seeing that much power anyway. Even with two 2 channel amps you are still trying to run 3 speakers off of each channel on each amp which would be a 1.3 ohm load so you will be running your amp at too low of an ohm load which could cause damage.

Lowroll Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 is that 1200 rms? if so yes Yeah it was RMS your best option would be to only use 8 of the speakers or get 4 more speakers and two 4 channel amps.

Thats what im trying to do, so if anyone knows how to do this, ppplllleeeeaaasssee, let me know!! 24? idk about that 1. he prolly didnt install it himself so he isnt sure what all is in there. thats only 40 watts a channel if its 1000 true rms at whatever ohm . 2. u dont need that manny 5 1/4. 3. im not sayin u couldnt run several off a 2 ch amp. but y bring it down to 8 ohms or somethin so u could run alot of spekers. i mean your runnin more speakers but each speaker gets quieter and quieter with the more u add. my guess is he has a few amps Edited June 27, 2009 by t-money Quote 2002 ford focus hatch pioneer DEH-P8400bh infinity kappa 6.5 components front and rear XS Power D1200 Shuriken BT-100 audioque 120.4 2 15 inch audioque HDC3 D2 2 audioque 2200d big 3 mechman 220a alt with external regulator 479-418-3056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewms9605 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Sorry fellas, but, liar, im not. I know quite a few guys with all these speakers on a 2-ch amp! I guess thats how they do it here in cleveland, i just wanted to make sure its safe to do so. Me personally dont want that many, but i want to get as many as i can without having to put a kazzillion amps in my car to do so. Im starting a new sysyem since mine got stolen and just want some ideas! Thanks for all your input!!!
