Speaker/Amp combo question

[chpthril]

Ok, more info changes things a bit


I'm coo with this! It's putting 230 to each voice coil.

Amp 1 for the sub -it's a 4ohm dvc half to one side half to the other

This is pretty power to a pair of coax, but if they are x-over right and aint blown yet, roll with it. You've got enough power for a set of HLCDs when you're ready to make the upgrade, thats good.

Amp 2 tower- half to left other half to the right.

So, if i'm reading right, you've got 2 rears and a bow wired together and then bridged on half the amp? If so, we need to change this. When speakers are wired series/parallel, they do not divide the available power evenly. There is a place and time when this is a viable solution, but since you have a 4 chnl amp that is more then capable of power 3 pair of speakers, this is not the best way to go for you. Lets double check how this last map and 3 pair of speakers is configured.

Amp 3 Int.- half left half right.... Rear are run in series then parallel the front in for a 6 ohm load is what I am being told.

Rears are wired like this Positeve Wire Leaves amp goes to pos. Terminal on 1st.speaker then wire leaves on negative and goes to pos. of second cabin speaker leaves on neg. And goes back to amp. Neg.The bow speaker for that side is then added on top pos to pos and neg to neg.
This is all bridged so 3 left side speakers use half the amp and 3 rights use the other half
So if you come up with a better way let me know and I will give it a shot. Thanx again.
And to think this all started by just wanting to change a head unit!

Two 4 ohm speaker wired in series and then parallel with the 3rd = a 2.66 ohm load that is being bridged. This has each chnl of the amp "seeing" a 1.33 ohm load on an amp that I believe is only stable down to 2 ohm. This is hard on the amp.

I think the bast way to utilize what you have: Each bow speaker on its own chnl. Then wire the two right main cabins in parallel on a 3rd chnl and then do the same with the left two main cabins on the 4th.

This will get you 80W to each bow speaker and 60W to each of the four in the main cabin. This is going to make the amp a whole lot happier.
