I think you mean connecting them in parallel. Connection in series would actually increase the amp from 4 ohms to 8 homes. Series connections = one blows everything else goes.

but when i got home it's actually 4x100w rms at 2ohm, and 4x50rms at 4ohms.
my car speakers i believe are 4ohms. so i'm not getting the power i want.
now my questions. to get the most power out of it, whats the best way to wire it up. i know if you wire 2 4ohm speakers in series it'll go to 2 ohm. so i could wire the passenger front and back speakers in series and get 2ohm load and the power i want.
but that seems silly. should i just return it and get a 4x100w rms 4ohm amp?
this amp wasn't cheap |
