They are 4 ohm speakers. Amps are rated at different ohms because they put out different watts at different ohm loads. I want to figure out how to drop these speakers I have from a 4 ohm impedance to a 2 ohm so I can go with the 400 watt amp instead of the 600 watt amp.

If wiring these differently will save me some cash and some stress on my alternator going through all this to get a wiring diagram to do it is worth it :)


power is power whether its being made at 4 or 2 ohms.

essentially to do this you would have to get all the positives and twist the ends together and all the negatives and twist the ends together and then put them into the positive/negative slots.

amp must be bridgeable to do this.

Lol speakers are not like subs, yes you can wire them in parrallel down to 2 ohms buts it just a bad idea. I would do some research before you attempt to do this install.

Don't be cheap, if you're going to be cheap run them off the HU til you save up extra cash for the proper amp IMO.


Best piece of advice.
