Well, the amp has 4 speaker terminals/outputs (+/- right and left channels).

Dumb question:

What is the 2 ohm connection, is the (+) and (-) from one channel (either right or left)?

Or, is the (+) from the right-channel and the (-) from the left-channel?

Thanks.

Correction: That would be the UN-bridged outputs.

There is no "2-ohm connection" on a modern amp. The amp has outputs and can handle whatever impedence load you put on it up to its ratings. Which amp do you have?

Thanks, DY.

Yes, agreed (Alpine MRV-T320 80W x 2). I understand the 2 ohm load, in relation to amp/speaker config.

I know you have the answer.

Where is the hookup?

By the way, I'm looking at this to run the rear CH 2-way coaxials.

I'm not sure what you are asking, but the Alpine MRV-T320 is a stereo amp. It has two outputs, a positive and a negative for each of its 2-channels. Hook your left coax to one output set (+ to + and - to -) and the right coax to the other. It will deliver up to 80 watts per channel into a 4-ohm load (most likely what your coaxials are.)

Yah, its' clear.

I looked at it again - and overanalyzed.

Duh!

Thanks again.
