[QUOTE="Memnoch, post: 8867721, member: 690593"] Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately we are stuck with that amp for now. I have been slammed with work so have not been able to do any research on amp side yet. The brother in law said something about bridging the speakers basically connecting all 4 sides of each speaker, but the parallel diagram above shows it skipping a + and - on each speaker. Stupid question, but is one side of the speaker the voice coil and speaker on the other side? I will do my due diligence when I have some time to research it further. It is quite confusing when the amp states 2200w, 1 Ohm stable, but parallel would only net about 550w. I will get a better understanding of this soon. Watching a video now, and interestingly in one of the videos they show the wiring and testing the resistance to see what the speaker is reading at which ohm level. I am pretty sure we did that with these and each side of the speaker was reading at 2 OHM. In the video a 4 ohm speaker was reading at 4 OHM from the one side tested. My brother in law said that the 2 OHM from either side added to get 4 OHM. I did not think that was correct. So is the speaker a 2 OHM speaker but listed as 4 OHM or is he correct that the 2 sides are adding together to reach 4 OHM? [/QUOTE]
