[QUOTE="ArgadTheBad, post: 8696799, member: 678967"] I’m newer to this and electrical is my kryptonite in general, but I have a new Kicker CXA360.4 amp putting out 4x65 Watts @ 4ohms/ 4x 90 watts @ 2ohms/ 2x 180 watts @4ohms bridged & 2 Kicker 43DSC69304 4ohm 6x9’s rated at 70 watts RMS I want to get the most out of. My question is this: If I bridge the first two channels to 180 watts & wire the speakers in parallel to it will the 2ohm load from the speakers double the amp output to 360 watts like it normally would on a single channel & fry my speakers? The amp is 1ohm stable so I’m pretty sure it’ll take it, but I’ve read that most amps won’t push a 2ohm load over 2ch bridged at 4ohms & the manual doesn’t say anything about it that I can find.... Thoughts? Thanks in advance folks. [/QUOTE]
