Speaker Hook-Up Question

**bighoss88lx** · 04-13-2005, 02:41 PM

If I hook up 2 speakers to a 4 channel reciever which wires do I use? The front channel or the back channel or both. Thanks.

if you are only hooking up 2 door or dash speakers to a four channel, it doesnt really matter. just make sure the input (RCA's) match the output. (speaker wire) basically, if you want the front door speakers amplified, plug the RCAs into the "front" input. then run the speaker wires to the "front" output of the amp. dont forget to adjust the gain and x-over on the amp. if you want to know how to bridge the amp to mono (doubling the power) for subwoofers, and i will attempt to explain that.

note, just noticed you said reciever.....in that case, id just use the front...still doesnt really matter, because the reciever is probably like 40W x 4, so power is the same to all speakers.

Ok man, thanks for the help. And this is not for an automobile either. It's my top secret project. LOL :redrum: :blkvnm:

Sounds like a garage/workshop sound system to me
