[QUOTE="lmx107, post: 8635636, member: 674863"] Hi everyone - I am a new member on the forum and need a little help understanding something (and believe me I've searched and searched on this issue using google, forums, vendor sites, car sites, Youtube, images, amplifier and component speakers manuials, etc. and have found nothing to help clarify). On a 4 channel amp. If I attach the output wires from channels 1 & 2 (tweeters) to the crossovers' inputs (assuming this is the correct way to wire it), then from the crossovers I connect separate sets of wires to go to tweets and mids. OK easy enough. What I don't understand is how much power are going to the speakers? If the amp is rated at 50W RMS/channel, does that mean the 4 speakers are getting only 25W each (since all 4 speakers are being fed from only 2 channels on the amp)? What does one do with the remaining channels 3 & 4 on the amp? I would love to see some definitive source say something like: On a 4 channel amp: Connect your tweeter output wires from the amp to the "input" on the crossover. You won't use the remaining 2 channels (3 & 4) on the amp or you can bridge them and run a sub You will get xxx watts on each speaker etc... Thanks so much in advance for anyone who can shed light on this. I've been pulling my hair out and done with searching.
