2 channel amp for highs?

[InFamouz Cb7]

can the front door speakers together be considered as 1 channel? i'm jus trying to figure out if the front and rear speakers can share a channel, or do i have to get a 4 channel amp for my highs

its not the ideal setup, cause you wotn be able to adjust the front crossover seperate from the rears.

basically you hook up 2 speakers to one terminal and as long as your amp can run two ohms then you can do that.

but a 4 channel amp would be ideal

[TheNextEpisode]

Yeah, not ideal.

Each speaker can easily use 50 watts, totaling 100 rms for the front speakers and 100 rms for the rears. The price of a component amp that runs 2 channels @ 100 watts a piece is probably going to cost about the same as a amp that has 4 channels @ 45 watts a piece.

But if you do end up doing it, wire the front left/rear left speakers together and the front right/rear right speakers together. That way, at least your left/right balance will be maintained. If you wired your fronts together, then they'd be playing the left (or right, depending on how you wire it) feed only, while your rear speakers would be playing only the other feed.

It can be done as long as your amp can handle a 2ohm load. However your stereo imaging would be completely messed up. Your best bet, if you can only afford a 2 channel amp is to either bridge your F&R left channel together & your F&R right channel together. This of course would eliminate the ability to fade your sound from front to back, but your stereo imaging would still remain in tact. Another option would be to just run the amps power to the front L&R channels & power your rears with the head unit. This would allow for maximum adjustability to create your soundstage from the center of your dash. This is how it is done in competitive systems. Your rear speakers are mainly used for "rear fill" & should not be producing alot of sound. This would cause your image to move toward the back of the car. I hope this helps you.

I think this is the best way.
