Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 162 Registered: Aug-06 | it is the zeus ZXi 4006, this amp does 100x2 at 4 ohms and 200x2 at 2 ohms... all four of my intereor speakers say they are 4 ohm.... is there anyway i can run the 2 back ones regular on one channel, and run the 2 front ones at 2 ohm? also, will this hurt them? thanks... |

Gold Member Username: JuliobSanto DomingoDominican Re... Post Number: 2332 Registered: Dec-05 | i don't think you can put those 2 ohm speakers in one channel... i 'm running my system with 4 speakers (4 ohm) and a 2 channel amp and the amp is still alive.. working all day long but i think in your case you're having ohm load problems |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 164 Registered: Aug-06 | im not having any problems, i havent hooked the amp up at all yet... i want to know if i can run two 4ohm alpine type Rs together and get a 2 ohm load from one channel... i would think you would be able to do it just like you would do a pair of subwoofers but i dont know... |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 165 Registered: Aug-06 | anyone? can i run my 4 ohm alpine type Rs to pull a 2 ohm load from 1 channel on this amp? i want to run 200 watts to them instead of the 100 @ 4 ohms... |

Silver Member Username: Rob_pregYoungstown, Ohio United states Post Number: 632 Registered: Sep-05 | if i understand this correctly, you want to wire both of your front speakers to one channel, and both of your rear speakers to the second channel. this would ruin all imaging and stereo effect, since the left channel would now just be in front of you, and the right channel would now just be behind you. you COULD, however, wire the left front and rear speakers to the left channel, and wire the right front and rear speakers to the right channel. this would give every speaker 100w rms, and maintain a stereo effect. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 168 Registered: Aug-06 | they are not subwoofers! they are 6 1/2" speakers, can i run 6.5" alpine type R's in parallel and have them both pull a 2 ohm load from one channel without hurting them... then just run the back door speakers normally since they dont need as many watts... |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 169 Registered: Aug-06 | i didnt think of that two4fifteen, didnt think it would matter since it delivered the same amount from both channels... but how am i supposed to get 100 watts to each speaker if they are all ran at 4 ohm? i want more watts going to my front 2 speakers than my back 2 speakers, how can i acheive this... |
|
Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 170 Registered: Aug-06 | oh ok ray, well i knew it HAD to work that way because it simply draws that extra current when wired that way, but i dont want to totally wreck my speakers by hooking them up that way... but can i still run the two front speakers to the left channel without it sounding all foked up? |

Silver Member Username: Freezeman_7Post Number: 189 Registered: May-06 | yo, i tried that and it didnt work. it melted my tweeters. so to fix it i just bought some 2 ohm speakers |

Silver Member Username: Rob_pregYoungstown, Ohio United states Post Number: 634 Registered: Sep-05 | simply put, if you wire both of your front speakers to a single channel, you creat a mono front stage. the only way to hook up all four speakers to a 2 channel amp and maitain a stereo ouput (while losing any fader), is to wire it as i stated earlier. since all speakers are 4 ohm, you can wire each side to each channel in parallel, so the two left speakers create a single 2 ohm load for the left channel (and splitting the 200w rms from the amp), and likewise for the right. if you would like to power the fronts more than the rears, and maintain stereo, you need either a 4 channel amp, or a second 2 channel amp. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 171 Registered: Aug-06 | ok thanks, i will do as you say two4fifteen, the speakers in the back say 150 max but probably wont see over 90 real watts apiece... |
