Ok I am trying to wire up 4x6's and a set of 4 in speakers on two channels of my 4 channel amp. I understand this will make a 2 ohm load my amp is stable at 2 ohms. My question is do I just run two seperate wires from the amp to each speaker or do I sorta splice in another connection towards the end of one and go from there? If this is confusing just say so and I can try to figure out a way to word it better. Its all Planet Audio equipment the 4x6's are the big bang series and are a great speaker and right now its just running of the h/u and I know its wanting so much more power. The 4in speaker is also a Planet Audio Zetar seris another amazing sounding speaker. The amp is also a Planet Audio Torq series amp its 4x75 at 4 ohms, 4x150 at 2ohms, and 300x2 at 4 ohms. So I would love some feebakc and some help on this question.

You can do the wiring either way.

Support the12volt.comWhen paralleling a 4 * 6 with a 4 for the front soundstage, you will have to limit the amount of bass you send to them to only what the 4's themselves can handle. You won't have the advantage of the wider range that the 4 * 6's should be able to cover. The crossover to sub will have to be somewhat higher than it could be if only the larger woofers were used up front. So although you are adding a couple decibels by making the amplifier work the fronts at 2 ohms, the higher (mid)bass -to - sub bass crossover may leave it sounding like you got less...not more.
As far as the connectivity question, as DYohn said it is either way. A parallel connection is polarity connected with like polarity at any point in it's electrical path - at the amplifier terminals, sharing a speaker's terminals, or at any point along the wiring. Be sure that any such connection you make is a proper electrical connection (such as twisting / soldering).

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
OK I thank both of you guys for your help on the subject. Well I have another question. Last night on my way home from work I noticed a faint noise ( which sounded like static ). Well I also have a set of 6x9's on channel 3 and 4 of that 4 channel amp. My dad and I think we have narrowed it down to the 6x9's making this noise. Well my dad and I install all of our own equipment because we enjoy seeing the finished product. But everything is looked at by our local shop. So I dont know what this sound is but I it wasn't there when we first put the 4 channel in which was about 2 weeks ago. Once again any help with this would be much appreciated. And the 4's and the 4x6's are just to just play the high's and the 6x9's are set to just play full range all the settings on the amp.

I can't say what's happening from your description but the most common cause for noise is poor amplifier grounding. Red the proper grounding sticky thread and check your amp's ground return resistance.

Support the12volt.comOk thanks again and well see I mean I will def check the ground but see my sub amp and my cap ground is at the same place and I dont hear any noise coming from the sub. And my dad and I cant seem to find a good looking grounding block ( any help on that would be great ). But like I said I will def check the grounds and everything in the morning. But is there anything else it could be.

It turned out to be the 6x9s the tweeter was blown.
