Does anyone know how I could get more power to my components (s600a and s600s) by wiring them down to 2 ohm? I have a kicker 650.4 that pushes approx. 80x4 @ 4 ohm and 170x4 @ 2 ohm. Is there any way to wire them down to 2 ohm and still only have one set of the speakers hooked up to each channel? I don't want to lose my left/right fade or my front back. What would be the best possible way?
Not possible. Your only real soultion is to install a larger amp if you need more power to your components.

Support the12volt.com1) There isn't an easy way to do what you want to do. (pros... any way?)
2) Either way I think it is a horrible idea. Why are you wanting to do this? Are you actually playing them so loud you are clipping your amplifier now? Do you realize that by doubling the power you'll only increase the SPL by 3db? 3db does NOT sound twice as loud... 3db is noticable, sure, but you can gain more than that dampening your car and killing some road noise.
At 91db those speakers are pretty efficient. 80w should be plenty. Dropping the amplifier down to 2-ohms would introduce extra distortion and reduce the damping factor (ability of the amplifier to control the speaker). Seems like a waste of nice speakers to me. I highly doubt you'd gain anything and would probably end up losing quality.

Even then realize that a few extra watts might not do anything for you but waste your money. You should seriously evaluate why you need more power.
Do you really need more? What is the problem you are running into? Or do more watts just sound like a better idea?
