ok i'm confused

ok i'm confused, i'm about to wire up my mid range speakers, and i need to get a 2 ohm load to my amp, the speakers are 4 ohm, and i think wired in parallel will give me a 2 ohm load, but i don't think the one in the sticky(2 4ohm vc speakers) will work. its a 2 ch amp. if i'm making sense could you explain how to do it?

????

any 4 ohm wired in parell with a second 4 ohm will equal a 2 ohm load.

i understand how to get the 2 ohm load, but if i did it like in the sticky, wouldn't it be bridging my amp? since its a 2 ch amp?

if i just conected both negatives and both positives to the amp would that give me a 2ohm load?

If you only have two speakers and these speakers are designed to be played in stereo off of a 2 channel amp, then there is no way to wire them to present a 2 ohm load to the amp. It would take 4 speakers wired in parallel to create a 2 ohm load to do this.

why do you need to get a 2 ohm load? 95% of people run their fronts @ 4 ohm.

ohh, ok so if i was to get a 4 ohm load to my amp, how would i do this?

jus wire the + to the + and the - to the - on each channel
