How to wire this up to get 2 ohm ASAP

[southport2014 10+ year member]

I have a set of morel maximo Comps and I want to run them at 2 ohm

They are 4 ohm per set

I want to run 1 set of the comps to one channel at a 2 ohm load

How would I do this since they are comps and run through a crossover.

I don't think you can, if they are dual voice. If they are single you can wire them parallel.

Are they dual voice?

Taken off this site from an older post.

"if you have two component sets for each channel, you simply wire the crossover inputs in parallel. the crossover outputs are normally connected to the woofer/tweeter. the amplifier will see both crossovers and thus both speakers in parallel, reducing the impedance load"

Pretty sure you will loose control over fade/balance control.

how though

Bridge a 4ch amp, you can't magically wire 4ohm comps to 2ohm...

the reason im running 2 comps to one channel is because my amp is too powerful for my speakers so im running the speakers together. I know the ohm load drops and adds power but it will be less power fed to each speaker this way

uh, just lower the gain on the amplifier.

Ok rocket scientist, why did you dislike the post above??? It was the proper reply and what you should be doing.

Run each side on it's own ch and turn the fuggin gain down....
