Posted October 12, 200915 yr i just finished downgrading my system in preparation to sell my car and i just wanted to check and make sure i had everything setup correctlyi am running an older pioneer hu, planet audio 6.5" torq speakers in the doors and rear deck, an eclipse 10" single 4-ohm subwoofer, and an american pro bass machine 800w 4-ch amplifieri am running the amp in 3-ch mode with the pa speakers running in parallel, then in series, i wanted to verify i did this correctly. i ran the left front and rear speakers with a positive from one and a negative from the other hooked together, same with the right front and rear. then i hooked the remaining positives together and the remaining negatives together. i was going for a 4-ohm load.
October 12, 200915 yr yea that's 4 ohm for the speakers.Each pair is at 8ohm then paralleled back to 4ohm.
October 12, 200915 yr Author cooldoes it make a difference if the left and right speakers are wired together vs. the front and back speakers being wired together?
October 13, 200915 yr yes it does, if you wire the front left and rear left, and then the front right and rear right. to the left and right channels, then you still have your setup in stereo. but if you wire the fronts to the left channel and rights to the rear channel for example, not anything that would normally only come out of the left side, is now gonna be coming out of left and right, but only from the front, and anything that would normally only come out the right speakers will now come out of both but in the rear.
