Regular Speakers @ 2Ohms vs. 4Ohms???

[sunXet_RELOADED]

If my component set and 6x9s are 4Ohm'ers, is there a certain way to wire them to the amp to draw a 2Ohm load? What ohm load will it draw from the amp when I wire it regular (+) to (+) and (-) to (-)? I know about all about wiring subs, but speakers are new territory. Thanks to all the gurus who know how to answer this.

subs and regular speakers are same principle

so if the speakers are 4Ohm, and I wire them (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) on the amp, they'll get an 8Ohm load?

no, if you hook both positives up to one positive on the amp and both negatives up to the negative on the amp you're going to get a 2 ohm load.

if from the amp you went + on the amp to the positive of one speaker. from the negative of that same speaker to the positive of the other one and then from that negative to the negative on the amp you would get an 8 ohm load.

the only bad thing about doing it with stereo speakers is you'd be running it off one channel. i'd use like a set of 6x9s and then a set of tweeters too that way i still had stereo

Thanks matts, you've always been a great help. But i have one more question. What type of glue should I use for that cylindrical piece of cardboard that connects the voice-coil of my Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 sub to its cone. The cheap factory glue has wore out and the cone doesn't move at all when the sub gets power. Once again, thank you all for your wisdom.

im not putting a picture to that in my head :???:, but if i were going to be dead set on glueing it back together i'd use some F26 or Gorilla Glue or something of the sort. just wanna make it can withstand some heat:)

wow, i didn't know you could wire subs in sequence
