I'm new, connecting bass cannons, mono or stereo

[RayH]

My options in connecting 2 cannons are;

1.connect them in stereo 4 ohm 50 watts each

2.connect them in stereo 2 ohm 70 watts each

3.connect them in mono 4 ohm 140 watts

I guess my question is how to hook up 2 cannons mono so i get the 140 watts, do

I connect one then connect the other one to the first one or connect 2 positive and 2 negetive speaker wires to the amp, connections look like this

1 2 3 4

+ - + -

L R

Mono connect is 1 and 4, if I connect two cannons mono will i get the 140 to each or will the amp know theres two cannons ran to mono?

They are ran in stereo at the moment, sound ok, but if I could get some more out of them that would be nice.

Thanks

with the little bit of info you have provided - you can only wire the two cannons in stereo and get 50watts to each. if you wire them in "mono" as you called it, wiring your cannons in parallel would present a 2 ohm load for your amp which probably cannot handle a 2 ohm "mono" or bridged load.
