    Help with 4 terminal speakers - what are they?

    Two terminals are for the woofer, and two are for the tweeter there should be a passive crossover hidden in there too. You can replace them with any 5.25" speakers you want but you will have to remove the crossovers and run new wires.

    RCA plugs on a Bridged 4 ch amp.

    That amp has a switch, set the "Input Sel." switch to "A" then you only use "Line In A" no Y's needed.

    RCA plugs on a Bridged 4 ch amp.

    It depends on the amp, some amps have a switch for 2 or 4 channel input, others require Y adapters, that info should be in the manual.

    Negative ohms at amp

    The DMM uses a small current from it's batteries to calculate the resistance. When you hook the speakers up to the amp, something in the amp is supplying a small current which is enough to mess up the readings from the DMM.

    5 channel amplifier ?

    If you don't care about the budget, there's a brand new JL Audio five channel with built in DSP JL Audio VX700/5i - VXi

    Help a new guy

    It's because as you lower the resistance you increase the current, the parts inside the amp may not be able to handle the higher current at 1Ω. 1000W@1Ω is double the current of 1000W@4Ω.

    not sure ,clarify please

    The labels on that switch are odd, the HP/FR setting defeats the rear crossover but applies the front high pass to the rear channels. The LP/BP setting enables the rear crossover but it is technically always band pass, there's no way to have a true low pass on those channels, especially with...

    It really depends on what speakers you are trying to run. If you connect a pair of tweeters to the front, and a pair of mids to the rear LP/BP is what you should use. If you connect four component sets with passive crossovers then HP/FR would be appropriate.

    not sure ,clarify please

    Technically the switch is labeled HP/FR, FR probably means "front", as in it disables the rear crossover, and uses whatever setting is on the front crossover. This is where the switch would be set if the amp was bridged to three channels. It's almost full pass, set the switch to HP/FR and set...

    My dsp configuration ,take a look for issue

    First, the gains should be set before the tune is applied to the DSP. The output isn't supposed to be the same after the attenuation by the EQs. A 3dB difference between channels 3&4 is no big deal. You have to understand the DSP is used to remove peaks and valleys from the sound you hear, a...

    Special Edition PPI A630 6 channel??

    This amp is 30W per channel at 4ohms, it's like the old school PPI Sedona APA 630-ix without the crossovers.
