Its been awhile sence i delt with the best way to hook up woofers. if i remember correctly you can run speakers 3 differnt ways.....
1. hook them stright to the amp each speaker having its own positive and negitive connection to the amp thru the right and left channel. if your speakers are 4 ohm then each channel gets a 4 ohm load.
2.hook them up in series where the positive comes out of the positive of the bridged channel of the amp to the positive of the first speaker then negitive of the first speaker to the pos. of the second speaker, them the negitive of the 2nd speaker back to the amps negitive side of the bridged channel. so if you have 2 4 ohm speakers you are giving the bridged channel an 8ohm load.
3. hook them up parrelle where you hook both speaker positives to the postive of the bridged channel and both speakers negitives to the bridged negitive channel so if you have 2 4 ohm speakers you are giving the amp a 2ohm load cause both speakers are hooked to the same channel.
ok so if this is all correct what is the best way to hook up the speakers??? the amp is a 2 channel 600 watt amp. the speakers are both 650 watt 10 in. the amp is brigable using the right positive and the left negitive.
the next question is do you still hook up both rca jacks cause the amp shows the left rca jack as the btl channel. im a bit confussed about the stero and mono and how it effects the ohms and the load on the amp.
any help you can offer would be great.
