to all you experts

I'm a little confused. What are you putting these in? Are you using the 5.25's in the front and the 6.5's in the rear?Squirrel

uhh............ any suggestions?you can put a bullet in my head, but you can't kill a word i've said

had to run out for a minute... I'm assuming your crossover has Input, Tweeter, and Speaker? You have several possibilities... 1) Wire the 5.25 set to the front 2-channels, the 6.5 set to the rear 2-channels, then run the 2 8's to the rears as well. That's assuming that the 8's are 4ohms each. You'll end up with a 4ohm load on each front channel, and a 2ohm load on each rear channel. Benefit: You retain Fade and Balance control Drawback: You will be sending the 8's a full range signal, not just bass 2) Wire the 5.25 set to the Front Right channel, the 6.25 set to the Front Left channel, and the 8's to the Rear 2-channels. You'll end up with a 2ohm load on each Front channel, and a 4ohm load on each Rear channel. Benefit: You can adjust the frequency range going to the 8's. You will retain Fade control. Drawback: You will lose Balance control. Each 5.25 speaker will receive the same signal (same with the 6.25's). 3) Wire the left 5.25 and 6.5 set to the Front Left channel, the right 5.25 and 6.5 set to the Front Right channel,and the 8's to the Rear 2-channels. You'll end up with a 2ohm load on each Front channel, and a 4ohm load on each Rear channel. Benefit: You can adjust the frequency range going to the 8's. You will retain Balance control. Drawback: You will lose Fade control. Each left speaker will receive the same signal (same with the right). Let me know which of those 3 you prefer and I'll give more detailsSquirrel

i think i'd prefer option 3you can put a bullet in my head, but you can't kill a word i've said

can i run them in a series? or just parallel? not sure what would work bestyou can put a bullet in my head, but you can't kill a word i've said

Your better off running in parallel otherwise you won't be pushing those too hard. Will give you more volume to play with in parallel.

I agree, running in parallel will give you the most power, and since all your components are 4ohms, you wont go lower than 2ohms total on each front channel of the amp (which you are stable at). If you give me your e-mail address I can send you a pic of what it should look likeSquirrel

Sorry it took so long, got bogged down at work lately. Anyway, I just sent the diagram. The pic is not drawn to scale, and most 4-channel amps usually have all channel outputs on the same side of the amp. But for simplicity I made the pic a little easier to see what I was talking about. Let me know if you have any other questions.Squirrel
