Wiring amp like this ok?

Saz 1500D

I dont have a enough speaker wire to make the needed runs to connect all 4 outputs directly to the speaker.

Can I run a wire from the positive/negative on the amp to the other +/- on the amp and complete a 1 ohm load?

heres a picture to explain, hopefully.

Are you sure?

That picture is linked from the sundown forum.

Why do you say the other two stay open? Experience with the Saz?

Thanks

The two terminals are internally wired in parallel. You don't need to use both, they are simply there to make it easier to connect two speakers in paralle to the amp.

i thought all terminals were supposed to be used on mono amps or it could fry the inside?
