Speaker Loading!!

anToNIcHeN · 2nd August 2006, 18:53

Hey guys,
I have a doubt....

I have 2 pair of speakers (total of 4 speakers), both of them rated at 4ohms....
I am connecting them to a 2 channel amp... (so basically i am connecting the speakers in parallel, so getting an effective 2 ohm load).....
If my amp is rated at 100 WRMS/ channel at 2ohms.... are my speakers gonna get only 50WRMS? or all of them gonna get 100WRMS each?...
my question in short is, when i connect 2 speakers in parallel, is the load on each speaker total watts divided by no.of speakers?....

regards,
ant.

the power will get distributed to both the speakers and be sure to enable the hpf from the amp so that the lower freq will not damage the speaker......

So this should be the case with DVC Subs also right?....
each voice coil is gonna see half the rated power of amp (when connected in parallel)?....

in case of dvc we must not connect it like this , we parllelly connect the vc and take only two wires to the amp. this way the min ohms is achived and max juice of the amp can be taken out...

I ur question each vc will recive the half of the power the amp is givining
