[QUOTE="J.J., post: 4130151, member: 587051"] I appreciate the input. The problem is my amp has the following specs: Into 4 ohms @ 12.0 VDC -- 24 watts x 2 Into 4 ohms @ 14.4 VDC -- 35 watts x 2 Into 2 ohms @ 14.4 VDC -- 60 watts x 2 Into 1 ohm @ 14.4 VDC -- 93 watts x 2 Into 1/2 ohm@ 14.4 VDC -- 150 watts x 2 Bridged 4 ohms -- 125 watts x 1 Bridged 2 ohms -- 185 Bridged 1 ohm -- 300 x 1 If I just connect 4 ohm comps to this set-up, I'm only getting 35 watts to each x-over. That sucks! I need to run my comps in parallel in order to drop to 2 ohms and get at least 60 watts. Theorectically, I snould purchase some 2 ohm comps and wire them in parallel so i could at least have 93. So, my question still remains. How do I run 4 ohm comps in parallel? I need to drop the impedance to get more out of my amp. [/QUOTE]
