Just for my own education.

Why 1 amp channel per speaker for 4 speakers vs the 2 front speakers bridged/parallel on front channels and rear speakers bridged/parallel on rear channels?

 

That's completely dependent on the amp and speakers in play. It's not uncommon but it's not best for this application.

 

I think I am getting confused because it sounded like the OP had it wired that way in the initial post.

Would it make a differernce if all the speakers were the same vs different front and rears?.

What would be the recommended wiring for a Stinger 700 4 channel amp and 4 Mmats 601 cx 4 ohm (faring and lowers or faring and rear pods)

Just trying to learn.

Thanks.

 

1 speaker per channel. The Stinger amp is rated at 125W x 4 @ 4 ohms RMS. The MMats speakers are rated at 100W RMS. Therefore wired one speaker per channel the speakers are getting plenty of power.

 

In this particular combination, I have both of these speakers in play. Neither of these require a ton of power and are pro audio efficent type speaker. I personally would rather not overdrive what's needed. With a little less power these speakers may play a little warmer by being able to cross a liitle lower.

My personal tastes are stereo in the fairing, if possible. Some strategies don't allow for that, but in this case it does.
I have 110w going to the Mmats and 125w to the PRV's.

Another option for the OP that I would consider, is channels 1&2 in stereo to the fairing and 3&4 bridged, parallel to the TP. This gives the rear stage a bit more volume to blend.

 

You can't parallel bridge the 4ohm speakers the OP has already purchased.

 

Bridged is combining channels...or MONO. Personal preference.
It also has to do with power output. Not personal preference.

The only way to sufficiently power the PRV's in an 8ohm version would have been to use the amp bridged and wire them in parallel. Good thing OP has the 4 ohm, (sorry didn't see those!)

You Could wire your Left to amp front and Right to amp rear and use the amp bridged as stereo.
Then you could power one pair of 175Watt rms speakers on that amp in stereo.

Front back left rear is labeled and the fader won't change, but you can wire it however.

Sorce

 

One more dumb question
am I supposed to cut the rca s off and wire speaker in on that side of amp

 

If you're running the stock HU, you'll need a PAC SNI-35 to convert your high level (speaker wires from HU) to Low Level (rca). From the PAC you'll run a RCA cable to the amp for input.

 

Yea I have pac hooked up front channels are working but can’t seem to get sound from the rear
