[QUOTE="TeenWolf, post: 998610, member: 561987"] You're amp has four channels 22w rms 2 ohms each. They are independent of one another. If you only use two channels, the amp will not automatically take the unused power and direct it towards the two used channels. Nor will the impedance change for each channel. You can only change the power and resistance when you bridge channels or wire more than one speaker to a channel. You have 4 ohm speakers connected to your two front channels which are rated for 2 ohms. Hence, you're getting less than 22w rms. The load on your HU is still 2 ohms, but that doesn't match up with your speaker impedance and results in less than optimal performance. It will not harm your speakers or HU though. [/QUOTE]
