hi again im just wondering i got a 2channel ap already which is running the 6"9's i got is it possible if i run my 4" speakers up front with the same amp. would it be to much power for the amp to handle since it will be running 4 speakers? cos at the moment i got the 4's running off the head unit and im not really satified with the quality its giving me up front because the tunes i listen to needs alot louder treble then bass. b4dn xxxx

all i know bout amps reli is that 1 channel per speaker and 2 channels for a sub! so a 4channel amp is good for two sets of speakers or 1sub and 2 speakers, 2 subs etc.
by that theory i rekon you would overload ur amp!-probs overheating it which if ur amp doesnt have a overheating alarm or wateva its called.
just call up and ask starthies or jb, they'll help u! - i always found super cheap knew the most but thats prob just me!
hope that helped |

Yes you should be able to do it, but why you'd want to is beyond me.
To get it to sound even half reasonable you'd need to run the rears off one channel and the fronts of the other, but then you'd completely loose any stereo effect...
You should make the effort to either get another 2Ch amp or a 4Ch amp and do it properly, you'd be pissed off with the results from anything else. |

Everything you listen to (with the exception of AM radio, which is mono) is split into two channels, a left and a right. Tapes, CD's, FM radio all have a left and a right.
Get your hands on a copy of "Heaven is a skate park" by OPM, at the very start you'll notice that the sound of the skateboard seems to move from left to right to left to right... if you were to wire up your system the way you suggested the sound would move from front to back to front to back...
This might not seem like a problem, but it is for a few reasons:
a) because humans have ears on the side of the head and not the front and back of our heads, we hear really well what's going on in terms of left and right, but in terms of front to back we suck monkey d!ck. We can do it, but we really suck at it, especially when it comes to stereo sound.
b) the skateboard in the OPM song is a VERY simple example, most music tracks use much more subtle mixing than just balls-out left OR right. Most music uses a little of each channel to get the proper effect. Having it split left and right is how it is meant to sound, having it split front to back (and on mis-matched speakers too) will make it sound like a wet fart screaming through a paper bag.
Stereo is just the term used to define any 'signal' either audio or visual that comes from two separate sources at the same time to generate either a sound or an image. Ever looked through those red and blue glasses and had an image that looks 3D? That's a stereo image. Same applies to sound. |
