[QUOTE="spoonraker, post: 2828729, member: 570956"] If you hook two speakers to a single channel on an amplifier is the total power divided equally among the speakers? For example : If an amp puts out 200W x 1 @ 2Ohms and you hook two 4-Ohm speakers to it in parallel, will each speaker see 100W? Basically I have a 2 channel amp that puts out 200w x2 @ 2 Ohms, and I have a brand new set of components that handle 60W and coaxials that handle about the same and I don't want to damage them. So if I hook up one component and one coaxial to a channel in parallel that will be a 2 Ohm load and they should see 200W, but if I turn the gain down to about 120W, will each speaker see the equivalent of 60W RMS?
