Bridge the amp to a 2 channel, and run each set off it. I have no idea what speakers you are running, so make sure they can take it. Otherwise use channels 1 and 2.

104 watts RMS x 4 channel at 4 ohms

and ≤ 1% THD + N

284 watts RMS x 2 channel at 4 ohms,

14.4V supply and ≤1% THD + N

So make sure your drivers can handle 284 watts, if not then wire for 104watts off 2 channels.

The specs on the driver are

# 240 WATTS TOTAL OUTPUT# 120 watts output each

# 120 watts total RMS rated

# 60 watts RMS each

# Sensitivity: 86 dB

# Frequency response: 65-20000 Hz

# Size: 5.25 Inch

The drivers are PHOENIX GOLD 5.25" 240w COMPONENT CAR SPEAKERS RSD5CS.

Thanks

This might sound like a dumb question, but what is the proper way to bridge the JBl 4 channel amp with regards to the speaker wires since 1 set is for the fronts and 1 for the rears? do I need to split the cable connection from the front output on the radio to both the front and rear input on the amp?
