[QUOTE="spkerfreak, post: 8857304, member: 689836"] The alternator in the boat is 100 amps. From what I’ve heard these standard alternators produce around 25amps at idle. We don’t usually blast music at idle. When we are driving we do turn it up pretty much to the top. I will check the sub parameters. You have a good point, it’s something I should find out. I believe that currently it’s powered as a bridge off the HTX-6 which provides 300 watts RMS at 4ohms. Sub might need more than that. The small speakers i think are mismatched with the amp.. they are 50 amps RMS at 4ohms, and the amp produces 100amps RMS at 4 ohms and 150 amps RMS at 2 ohms. Does that pose a risk of blowing those speakers? Or is this not a problem? I’m wondering if there’s a way to re-wire them to two channels in parallel or series to lower this chance? The Rev 10 speakers are tower speakers. My tower has 4 attachment places for brackets. I already have the speakers and I already have the amps. Got a really good deal on the amps. Why would it be a bad idea to run 2 speakers off each amp and leave a channel empty on each one in case I want to add anything later on? [/QUOTE]
