I want to hook my amp (Rockford P325.2) up to my front door speakers (Rockford T162C) but heres my problem. I dont know how to know if the ohms match the speakers.
The Amp's Box says I can get 80 X 2 @ 4 Ohms
My Speakers are 4 Ohms
I was looking at the installation pic that came with the Amp and the picture is unclear. it shows that if I use the "+" from the left and "-" from the right I will get 4Ohms. but am I to do the opposite (- from the left and + from right?)with the speaker wire that heads to the other speaker OR do I put both speakers in the SAME slots?

Any websites with pics would help along, but I trust ppl who respond know what they are talking about
THANKS

 

its 4 ohms per channel, since you have a P325.2 (2 channel amp) You would just plug it in as normal, positive to positve and negative to negative. One being your left speaker and the other your right speaker. The figure you were probably reading was the bridged part, if you were to combine both channels, its out put would give you full power @ 4 ohms bridged.

 

edit: yea what he said

If you do what you explained, you'd be running a bridged/mono amp to one speaker.

Excellent site that can answer both basic and more complex questions.

 

But If I hooked it up the normal way wouldnt it only be 2 ohms not the 4 my speakers need? heres a GENERAL pic I found on the rockford fosgate website that resembles the one in the manual.


But I dont see any pics the show the set up for two 4ohms speakers

 

what is the regular way to hook the speakers up if the pic says thats 2ohms?

 

it says 2 ohm minimum. in other words you cant run lower than two ohms stereo on that. if you plug up a one ohm load your sucking.

 

just as he stated and youll be fine.
