5.25's wiring question...

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

I'm trying to put 6 5.25's onto my 4 channel Jensen amp. I'm trying to put two on the front channel, and 4 on the rear. I have been trying to find a diagram that shows 2 4ohm svc speakers wired in at 4 ohms, but i havent found one.... anybody?

That's because one doesn't exist.

It's impossible to wire 2 4ohm loads to a final 4ohm impedance (without the use of a resistor).

1) Why in the hell do you have so many speakers?

2) Is that amplifier not 2ohm/channel stable?

6 speakers is nothing when considering some of the rigs i've seen ....

anyway, I looked up the amp specs, and yes the amp can run in 2 ohms. BUT, can one channel run in 2ohms and the other channel run 4ohms?

If the amp is capable of running 2 ohms then you can combine 2 4 ohm speakers to make 2 ohms and run the rears that way. It doesn't matter if the fronts are at 4 ohms, they don't have to match.
