[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8781477, member: 681035"] After thinking about it, most door speakers are 4 ohm, and you likely didn't go through wiring them in series. If you just doubled them up on a single channel, for example both speaker positives to amp positive and same with the negatives, you've wired them in parallel which will give a 2 ohm load to the amp. Most 4 channels are 2 ohm stable, but if you are bridging them, most 4 channels are only 4 ohm stable in bridge mode. If your door speakers are only 2 ohm, you could be wiring to a 1 ohm load, which is likely not stable bridged or not. Best bet may be go to best buy and get an rca splitter, give each speaker its own channel. If this isn't your issue let me know and grab me those details I asked for above. [/QUOTE]
