Just got a hold of 4 Kenwood 6x8 door speakers and want to know if i can use a 2 channel amp to power all 4... say if i wire the 2 fronts in parellel to 1 channel and the 2 back speakers wired in parellel to second channel?

fuse rating: 30A x 2
4-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
14-3/16"W x 2-1/4"H x 9-11/16"D

 

well, i guess you could do it, but it would be a pain in the a** to wire and your fronts would be wired to the right channel, and the backs to the left (or vice versa) which would sound really weird
if you were somehow able to wire the left sides in parallel and the rights in parallel, then yea

...except you would be pumping 120 watts rms to each of your 60 watt speaks

(2 4ohm speakers in parallel put a 2ohm load on the amp, in series it would be 8 ohms)

 

im actually thinking about running 8 speakers off a 4 channel amp, but the wiring isnt going to be as complicated

 

probably better to stick to 4 channel amp?

 

ya it definately would... or a different 2 ch..
