Wiring for 3-Channel Amp

[diesel_kid 10+ year member]

Hey there, I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a site or just tell me how to wire up my amp to my system. Currently it is a Alpine 9835 HU with an Xtant 403A Amplifier, which is rated at 50Wx2+100Wx1 at 4ohm. What I want to do is run my component speakers at 4ohm off the first two channels then run my sub off of the third channel at 2ohm. Anyways thanks.

what sub do you have? Depending on the voice coil configuration on it.. it may be impossible to run it at 2 ohms. You'll either need a dual 1ohm sub, a single 2ohm or a dual 4 ohm.

Your front speakers are probably standard 4 ohm speakers.

The sub I will be getting will be a Dual 4ohm. And the components will probably be 4ohm.

it's a three channel amp. to fronts and one sub channel. And either way.. even if you had a two ohm speaker and a four ohm speaker.. you could still wire them to different channels and be fine.
