[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6736420, member: 576029"] it's this a car audio forum where people get answers to questions? life is good - tell us what speakers you have (and their impedance) and what amp you have and we can give you direction. any links to amp specs are great and save us time. most likely, you have four 4 ohm speakers now and your 4 channel amp is 2 ohm stereo stable. if that is the case, you can connect one additional 4 ohm speaker in parallel to each output. so each channel could power two 4 ohm speakers - for a 2 ohm load. let us know if that doesn't make sense. if you have 2 ohm speakers, you can't add any more unless the amp is 1 ohm stereo stable (less likely). if you refer to the owner's manual for your amplifier (hard copy or online) it will include wiring diagrams. always take note of the impedance of your speakers and how they combine (series or parallel) for a final impedance load on the amplifier. make sure all connections are solid, secure, and safe from shorting wires or strands.
