this might be kind of a dumb question....but ive never hooked up a 4-channel amp before....here it is:
How can I hook up 4 single voice coil 4-ohm full-range speakers to a 4 channel amp to get a 4 ohm load....or is it even possible?? the only way i know to hook them up is just to plug each speaker into each channel, but it seems as though that would be a 2 ohm load....the only reason i didnt want a 2 ohm load is cuz the amp puts out 85 watts rms X 4 @ 4 ohms and 105 watts rms x 4 @ 2 ohms...that is only bad cuz the front 6x4 are only rated for 80 watts rms....the 6x9 are fine cuz they can handle 225 watts rms, but i was just scared that i would blow the 4x6 even though im only gonna have the gain to about 40-50%....any help would be appreciated....thanks
