Stacking speakers on 1 amplifier channel.

[iSteven 10+ year member]

I currently have my amplifier bridged. I put my kicker l3 on it. and i was wondering if i could put another speaker. On the same channel that the kicker is on. pretty much stacking the wires. Could i blow my sub or my amplifier?

• What amplifier is it?
  
• What is the model of the speaker you currently have?
  
• What speaker are you looking to add?
  

You have some things to consider before your question can be answered. The amplifier has a minimum rated impedance. You don't ever want to wire in another speaker if it will drop the impedance below this value. Also, it's not clear if you want to put two subwoofers on the same channel or if you want to add a speaker to a channel with a subwoofer. Don't mix speakers and subwoofers on the same channel.
