Wiring 2 speakers parallel to HU

[chevelle1972]

Would it be beneficial at all? It's just a temp until i get an amp. Mine as well get as much power out of the speakers as i can. Also if i do wire them parallel does it matter which side they are connected? Right Rear and Left Rear would be the same? All the power from the HU(very little) would go to which ever side is connected?

JVC KDR-600 HU

and Alpine type S 6x9's. Type R's in the future

And this amp in about two or three weeks Amazon.com: MB Quart Discus DSC450 200 Watt A/B Class 4-Channel Amplifier: Electronics

no. you can't. it will turn the HU off or damage it. you can't bridge a HU. wire it normal and live with the reduced output until you add an amp.

dont run your HU at 2 ohms. and when i say dont i mean dont, like as in dont do it.

Maybe it's not a good idea.

I don't want to make another thread and waste space so i have one more question. when i get front speakers and i run fronts and rears parallel to an amp, it will only use up two "channel" slots on the amp right? so i'll only be using 1 + and - on the rear channel slots and 1 + and - on the front channel slots. also does it matter which slots the speakers are connected too? can i use up both of the front slots or both of the rear? or does it have to be on of each

How does Infinity get away with this and their 2 ohm speakers?

this is what thier website says

True Four Ohms— All Reference speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance “seen” by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Reference Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit.
