Here is my setup components... PowerBass AutoSound Amplifier ASA 400.4, four 4inch 4ohm coax speakers, and a sub. I dont have everything wired up yet b/c Im not sure on which way I want to wire the 4inch speaks up. The sub is running on channels 3 and 4 brigded and thats not changing. My question is, should I wire 2 speakers (parallel) = 2 ohm load to channels 1 and do the same for channel 2 or should I bridge channels 1 and 2 and wire all 4 (series/parallel) = 4 ohm load. Both setups would give me the same amount of power I believe, but which will work the best and sound the best?


By the way this is on a motorcycle were space is limited and this is the reason for these components (size)...

Keep it stereo.  2 speakers per channel (if you must use all four.)
