Specs on 9 Speaker Alpine 506 Watt Amp

Lol the only people that’s mad at the video never hooked anything dealing with car audio lol. Good video and explanation zach ryan: Don’t let the stupid people tell you it was confusing. I got what you were saying Raul Ramirez: Hey how can I do it to a malibu can u help Jose Cordero: Also I have a 5 channel amp.

Can I hook up a pair of powered speakers (built in amp) to an xbox via an RCA lead, and at the same time output to a powered sub via the optical cable (logitech z sub with processor)?

Car Audio Black Friday Sales! Even though speakers are active loads resistance changes with frequency , it is accepted to treat speakers as resistors with a fixed resistance value usually 4 ohms. By combining speakers in different ways, maximum amplifier output can be obtained. For example if a 2-channel amplifier is rated to deliver a maximum output of watts at 2 ohms mono bridged , then by hooking up two 4 ohm subwoofers in parallel, a total load of 2 ohms is “seen” by the amplifier, obtaining optimum power.

Parallel Resistance People commonly hook up two or more speakers to the same channel out of an amplifier in parallel. This is achieved by hooking up the negative wire from the amp to all the negative connections of the speakers, and the positive to all the positive connections of the speakers. By doing this, the load seen by the amplifier is lower. For example, if two 4-ohm speakers are wired-up in parallel, then their total resistance will be half, or 2 ohms. If three speakers are wired up in parallel, and they all have the same resistance value, then the total load would be a third of the value of each speaker’s resistance.

Here’s a formula to calculate parallel total resistance for two speakers: For more than two speakers, use the following formula: So what are the advantages and disadvantages of this scheme?
