[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8709954, member: 679555"] The best way to hook up those speakers to that amp would be to utilize both channels unbridged, each being parallel. Keep left and right speakers together and separate front to back. Example: Front right and front left, wired in parallel to channel a @ 2 ohms for 300W RMS and rear right and rear left wired in parallel to channel b @ 2 ohms for 300W RMS. Bridging isn't a good idea in this scenario. The only alternative way with these speakers/this amp is to wire front and back in series with their corresponding side, then parallel the two circuits on a single channel @ 150W (37.5W per speaker) and 4ohm, which would give you 300W @ 2 ohm to use for a subwoofer on the other channel. All of that being said, it's incredibly misleading to call that a 800w amplifier, Boss is famously way off on their ratings so even that 300W rms claim might be exaggerated. [/QUOTE]
