lowering resistance on 4 ch amp

[nyydmb12 10+ year member]

Right now I have an alpine amp delivering 40 watt's to 4 speakers. However If I were to lower the resistance to 2 ohms I would get 50 watt's to each speaker. However I need help as to how I could achieve this lower resistance. If at all possible.

Not really. Get a bigger amp or components and bridge the amp.

it is doubtful you'd even hear a 10watt difference...buy something 75 x 4 or bigger if you want to hear a difference....

well my head unit only puts out 16 watts and my speakers ran decently off that for a while so I figured 40 watts is about 2.5 that power and 50 watt's is a little over triple that power and thats why I was anticipating. Any recommended budget amps with 70 watt's of power per channel

before going through the amp change you might just try bridging the amp to run the front speakers and use the HU for the rears. That's 100x2 for your fronts.

I have to upgrade my front speakers the ones I was looking at are rated for 60 watt rms, but at the same time they recommend 10-100 watts in terms of power from amp. I don't know, anyways I'll order new speakers and try bridging and running off the head unit. Thanks

It's mostly about the front's right?

any suggestions for front to run the 100 watts complemented by the jl's in the back

On top of the speaker suggestion....is it possible to bridge the connection out of the head unit.
