Two channel amp wiring

[lagoonman]

I want to use a two channel amplifier (125 watt per channel, 4 ohm) to power two front sets of component speakers (woofer and tweeter) and two rear sets of component speakers. Each set of component speakers have crossovers. Please corrrect me if I'm wrong but can I run two sets of wires ( + / -) from each output on the amp to each crossover, then wire the speakers (4 ohm) from the crossovers as normal? I believe this will put them in parallel and everything will be ok, I hope. Thanks

Say wut?

Are the speakers all the same?

If they are the same then you can run them in parrell.

Left and right. the left is like so....> get the two left speakers and go positive to positive to amp positive. Do the same... Neg to Neg to amp Neg Repete this process for right channel.

If you wire two 4 ohm speakers in parallel you no longer have a 4 ohm load...you have a 2 ohm load. So you better make sure your amp is stable at 2 ohm (which it probably isn't) so I'm gunna go ahead and say no.

Subzero,

The amp is a Clarion DPX2250 125W X 2 into 4 ohms and 200W X 2 into 2 ohms. Speakers are 6.5" Polk DB6501 components (4ea.) with crossovers. Sounds like I'll put the crossovers in parallel and wire the speakers normally from there?

on the average how many 2 channel amps arent 2 ohm stable in stereo these days fool? LOL.
