yummy pasta

[Domsz06]

yeah I figured what you were talking about. I'll see if I can find a store near my hotel in the bay area

Pasta...

Where did that come from?

fun action shot...

colors are awesome!!!

That is me at the helm...

zad you ever going to answer the question?

What question?

It can be....


It depends. Depends on a lot of things:

What impedance are the speakers?
Speakers series wired or parallel wired?
What impedance is the amp stable to?

Beyond those questions, we can assume you are talking car stereo amp and car stereo speakers.

A lot of car amps these days are two-ohm stable. That means the amp will be okay running two four-ohm loads wired in parallel.

Problem is, many car speakers today have a measured impedance below four-ohms. 3.2 - 3.6 ohms is common. Lots of two-ohm stable amps will not run a pair of these low-impedance speakers in parallel reliably.


MY bottom-line conservative approach is to design systems where there is one speaker per each amp channel. Adding more speakers without adding more amp just makes the amp work harder.

The comparison: Your question is sorta like asking about trying to make a 4-cylinder motor perform like a big-block V-8. Sure, you can add turbos, blowers, octane additive, other chrome go-fast parts to the in-line 4 to make it stronger and faster, but all of these while increasing power for the short term ultimately shorten the life of the motor. If you want 8-cylinder performance, plan on buying 8 cylinders.

Back to your qurestion; yes, you can put 4 speakers on two channels of an amp, but you need to wire it correctly. Check to see if you can find the answers to the above questions, and then get back to me and I will make recommendation on how to wire it up. Just know that we are "tweaking a 4-cylinder"; the best answer is to get more amplifier(s).

Ok I will check this afternoon.

I just hate being shown up by Zad...

Man, he got me for sure yesterday, and I think he got you too..

Awesome funny chit!

Oh come on its not that bad
I am 15
hehehe

[philwsailz]

And all of the foamed up water behind is not airbrushed...

The boat can do that, and it is not a jet....

[philwsailz]

I am going to start calling you Kirby.....

(you suck)

Just kidding...

Yeah, let me know on those questions and we will get you dialed in.

Thanks for the movie schooling yesterday, punk!
(again, just kidding, that was FUNNY!)

Thats sweet, I enjoy doing 180s on our boat.

I can see your schwartz is as big as mine.

Yeah how much longer will you be on, I can find out pretty soon if you will be here

I can hang for a while; no major (@$$-hole) plans for the afternoon.

Actually I am going to help a buddy build a little section of deck this afternoon, but he can wait a little while.

GO find out and I will fire up another glass of iced tea...

[philwsailz]

Dude, careful what you write....

And look at.... look me in the eye darned it!
