2 speakers on 4 channel amp?

[daprezzjp]

Hi,

I'm a new member of this forum!

I have 1 Alpine MRP-F550 4 channel amp and 1 M650 Mono amp. I also have type r components and 2 type s single voice coil subs.

Because this setup is going into an Mr2, I'm only using front speakers.

My question is, how do you connect the components to the 4 channel?

I've read in this forum that 4 channel amps usually have 2 channel mode but this amp doesnt seem to have a 2 channel mode switch.

How do you connect two speakers on a 4 channel amp?

Thanks

Edit: SOLVED! had the rca's in wrong..... lol

is the only way to bridge and get y splitters?

just use the front l and r channels, leave rear channels alone. so front rcas on hu to front rca ins on amp. speaker wires from front l and r to each crossover.

THanks for the response DukeNut,

I tried using the 2 front channels but it doesn't work. But when I bridge them it works. It's puzzling.

Thanks DarkNut!
