Creating a dummy load for my amplifier?

[Defconx3 10+ year member]

Later on today, I am going to meet up with xdavieexx to buy his DLS Iridium 6.3's, and I have a 4 channel amp waiting in my car to test the speakers before I buy them.

Since I only will be needing two channels from the amplifier, I wanted to know what I should use to create a 4-ohm dummy load for the other two channels. I would prefer not to hook up speakers because I would like to hear the Iridiums alone in order to hear how they sound.

Thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just Use The 2channels Then.

Yeah, you don't HAVE to use all output for the amp to work...

It won't hurt a thing. Just do it.

No dummy load needed

Just put the Iridiums on two of the channels and listen to them. Don't need to do anything to the other two channels.

Alright, thanks guys, I just looked at my amp and I was under the wrong impression about the connections. Im happy, that makes everything more simple.
