Anonymous | I don't think trimode is what Dorian is trying to achieve by looking at the picture at bcae1.com. if you amp is 2 ohm stable, I can assume that you can wire 2 speakers to 1 channel @2 ohms, 2 more speakers to the other channel @2 ohms. and the 2 back channels are bridged for the sub. I could be wrong on this. |
