ccrider540 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 okay so i have an amp that runs 85 watts rms x 4 at 4 ohms and 175 rms x 4 at 2 ohms, so i was wondering if it was possible to wire two coaxial speakers together kinda like u can do to subs. for example, i have two sets of alpine sps-600's and they are 4 ohm speakers so i was wondering if i am able to wire two of them together to make a 2 ohm impedance and run them both at 175 watts together. if anyone knows or has ever heard about this can u plz let me know.

ccrider540 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 yessyou can i;ve done it before and so long as you can figure out how to wire them in parallel you're fine how did u wire them. couldnt i just split the wire right before the little female connector and make it basically like a Y or should i run a wire from the amp to the speaker and solder to the speaker and then solder wire from the same connector and run that to the other speaker?

tacomabanga1986 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 pos to pos n neg to neg on teh speakers n then to the amp i have this done in my truck now with my front channel on my 4ch hifonics 4406 or w/e it is i got wire ran to my front comp set goin to left side, n wire goin to the back to my coax n then to left side on front channel of amp, n same on other channel, n then i got my 8'' midbass wired to 2ohm also to my rear channels it can be done n will work n not hurt anything, but if u run like infinity speakers some of theres are 2ohm already n i dnt kno of many 2ch or 4ch amps other than ma audio that will let u run 1ohm stereo hope this helps?

tacomabanga1986 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) oh ya, u can run 2 on front left, and 2 on front right or the same thing on rears or same thing on all 4 channels if u wnt to but if u only have 4 coax i wouldn't go threw it unless ur gunna use the other 2 channels for something else edit: what i mean is if your going to run 2ohm stereo u will have 2 of your 6&1/2'' coax on one of the 4ch's n and the same thing on one of the other 4ch's to get 2ohm, but if ur not gunna use the rear channels for anything, or get more speakers i wouldn't go threw the trouble now if u wanna get technical u can run your coax's active if u wanted to were the front channels run the tweets n the rear channels run just the woofers/mids but thats a whole nother ball game in itself, u'll learn how to do this later on, im gunna do it with my setup this summer some time i hope this is makeing somewhat of sence Edited February 6, 2010 by tacomabanga1986 Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricR Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 you should really use spell check... Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Blackedout Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Just as long as you don't get carried away and try to tie the left front and the right front together to lower the impedance ;-) Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
