[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2418246, member: 561023"] You do not wire an amplifier to run at a certain impedence. The load created by the driver(s) and the method in which said driver(s) is/are wired will dictate the nominal resistance load being presented to the amp. That being said, the majority of amps are stable at 2 Ohms when in stereo mode so if you were to get a 4-channel amp all you'd need to do would be to connect the speakers to the amp. The amp will see a 2 Ohm load per channel and output whatever it is rated to output @ 2 Ohms each channel. (bear in mind that the 2 Ohm stereo output will be more wattage, obviously, than the same amp when shown a 4 Ohm load per channel so make certain that the power ratings at that resistance is suitable for your speakers) [/QUOTE]
