Help! Amplifier max output for Speakers!

[Prudencio]

Greetings to everyone!

Guys, just a simple question regarding amplifiers.

I bought a 500w amp, 2-channel bridge. So, do I have 500w on each channel (for 2x 500w speakers) or I should consider the sum of both (for 250w speakers)?

I bought 2x speakers, for rear only (Alpine SXE-6925S, 6 x 9 Speakers (280 W)), but it seems like the amp still way stronger than the speakers without using the amp GAIN. I wonder if it can handle some 500w speakers instead and go louder.

Pics, attached.

Thanks for the support!

Ignore the 500w thing go by RMS ratings only. That amp does 60w x 2 at 4 ohm stereo or 190 x 1 bridged at 4 ohm. Connect one speaker to the Left + and - and one to the right + and -.
