A friend of mine is installing a stereo in his boat and was wondering what would be the best way to wire his speakers up. I have listed his components below.
Radio: JBL PRV-175
Speakers: 4 X JL Audio MX770-CCX-SG-WH
Subwoofer: 1 X Bazooka MBT8014
Amp: JL Audio M700/5
The amplifier @ 12.5 volts puts out:
Main Channels
60 watts RMS X 4 @ 4ohms
90 watts RMS X 4 @ 2ohms
180 watts RMS X 2 @ 4ohms
Sub Channel
180 watts RMS X 1 @ 4 ohms
240 watts RMS X 1 @ 3 ohms
300 watts RMS X 1 @ 2ohms
Obviously the subwoofer would just get wired up directly to the amp and see 180 watts RMS because it is a single voice coil 4ohm sub.
His question is, what would be the best way to wire up his 4 coaxial speakers to achieve the loudest sound? They are 4ohm single voice coil speakers that handle 70 watts RMS/225 watts Peak.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
