Wiring 2 sets of comps

[tat2bass 10+ year member]

Equipment-

2 sets of Pioneer TS=D1720C comps

Kicker ZX350.4 (4x60rms at 4 ohms, 4x90rms at 2ohms and 2x175rms 2 4ohms bridged)

I have heard that these comps can take well over 60 rms. I have the kicker leftover from my previous build and might replace it down the road but will be using it to start out. My question is I can I bridge it for 2 channels so that I'm getting 175 on each channel and then wire 2 sets of comps (2 woofers, 2 tweets and 2 crossovers) on each channel and still see a load of 4 ohms? When bridged its not stable below 4. I just want to try bridging it so that I get a little more power. I looked all over on here and on 12volt but didn't see anything that answered my question. I will also be running this set passive.

no,, dual 4's equal a 2ohm load non 4ohm about it...

Thats what I figured. I knew hooking them straight up wouldn't work. Didn't know if there was a way to maybe use 1 crossover and hook up the 4 speakers to the 1 crossover and change the impedance.

Hmm problem would be overload the cross by doubling its power so umm no.

that would not only destroy the crossover, but mess up the crossover points.

just run one crossover per channel, and wire the speakers to their respective crossover. it should be plenty loud enough if you installed the speakers well.
