4 channel amp help

[loudmerc97]

okay so I always see people running like 6 speakers/tweeters on a 4 channel amp and it just confused me. I just don't get how they're powering more than 4 speakers with only 4 channels. just getting into car audio so if anyone can help out that would be great. thanks

Either passive crossovers or running the speakers in series.

Where's the difficulty?

A channel is just a "channel" which funnels power within a specified passband. It has nothing to do with speaker quantity.

When some of our customers use 60,000w amplifiers, they use many speakers on this mono amplifier.

You can wire as many as you want as long as you don't drop your ohm load too low for whatever amp your running.

Wire them just like multiple subs but single voice coil.
