(2) 6x9's & (2) 6" woofers

[flyfishing]

I have a question about wiring this combination with a 4 channel amp. (2) 6x9's & (2) 6" woofers. I have drawn what I think are the two options. Can you tell me which is the best/correct way to wire this. Yes I know.....6" woofers that is a story in itself but it is the way I have to go.

Thank you,
Dan

Wire it like the top picture. No need to bridge anything unless those 6" woofers will be subwoofers with a mono signal.

They will be subwoofers, can you educate me regarding your comment about them being "mono signal"?

They will be DVC, I assume that means dual voice coil???

What I mean is, if you bridge them you may or will lose your left and right adjustment ability for those bridged speakers. Which is fine if they are subs.

Are you running the 6x9's full range and the 6" as subs just for more bass?

Wire one speaker per channel. If each 6" is DVC then it will be a 2 Ohms load on a single channel. I assume the 6s are dual 4 Ohms.

Yes that is exactly what I am doing.

Yes, the 6" are 4 Ohms. So, one speaker per channel?

Yes. Just make sure each 6" sub is wired parallel.

Yes. Just make sure each 6" sub is wired parallel.

Got it. Thank you very much
