I have 2 dual 15" 700 rms 4 ohm speakers with 1/4 jacks. Can i bridge these speakers to this amp and if so how do i? and should I?

the amp is at 4 ohm load, 2ndly are you asking about the implications of series or parallel hookup, hook it up to stay at the 4 ohms,= series. read a bit on the net about series & parallel. try them one at a time, noting amp temp,! aka does the fan come on? mine never did, so if yours does your pulling serious juice & sensitivity how much pre-amp line voltage required. are these subs or full range & are they in stock cabinets?

Simply adding two more speakers to your system does not make it a 7.1. You risk burning up the amplifier by having speakers with mismatched impendences. Upgrading your speakers is great but speaker impedances have to match and your amp has to say it can handle that load. Far more bad scenarios then good for what you are looking to do.

You cant wire two four ohm speakers 1 ohm. If you wire them parallel they will be 2ohms. This amp will power them nicely. To accomplish 1 ohm you would need 4, 4ohm speakers. Basic ohms law.

Yes you should if they are dual 4ohm jus run negative to positive cross. Then the open negative and positive to amp. Do this for both subs. Be aware these subs handle 400 watts rms so you will need 800 watts rms or at least 400 watts rms for solid bass

These are 4 ohm speakers and they can take a lot of power, 120W continuous, 200W peak output. if your amp isn't rated for 4 ohm speakers you could burn it up trying to drive these. Older amps were typically rated for 8 ohm speakers.

In bridged mode, I don't doubt it can. BUT I cannot say it will manage at 1 ohm. If you want it to give you a hard clean drive, wire speakers at 4 ohms and bridge it. Also make sure you have some strong amperage in your power supply...I am thinking you have dual coil kickers...I would recommend putting each speaker in 8 ohm mode then parallel them together to achieve the 4 ohm I previously mentioned.

Not enough info here, but I would bridge two channels to one of those subs. This amp would probably handle both of them, but not two amps and speakers.

These speakers are capable of being connected in parallel dropping them to 2ohms but your amplifier needs to be 2ohms or at least 2ohms stable otherwise it's toasted.

You could use one amplifier per speaker, but it won't be any better than plugging both speakers into one amplifier - it's 15 watts per channel, not 30 watts wherever, so leaving one side disconnected doesn't gain you anything on the other side. You also can't connect them together. That really shouldn't matter much, though. You don't actually have to run 30 watt speakers from a 30 watt amplifier - I've had this little amp hooked up to a pair of 100-watt speakers and it was just fine. You can't run the speakers to their maximum volume, but they run just fine at normal volumes. Remember, noise and power aren't linear, so 15 watts isn't half as loud as 30 watts. In fact, a mere 3 watts is half as loud as 30! 15 watts is enough to get your speakers fairly loud.

I would recommend wiring for 2ohm setup. @ 1ohm it might be pushing the speakers to the limit. Power acoustic amps are inexpensive because they have a lot of distortion so don't Max them out. I'm running 3 @ 2.6 ohms on a hifonics 1500w and they bang!

you would have a problem running 2 parallel 4 ohm speakers that would make the load 2 ohms. most amps would cut out and go into protection mode. some amps are rated at 2 ohms. you can take 2 4 ohm cabs if there run in series and the ohms double. so if you daisy chain speakers it will cut the load in 1/2 unless you rewire your cabs in series

If your amp has a 2 ohm output impedance, it will drive 4 ohm speakers, but you won't be able to attain full dynamic range. I believe this sub comes in a 2 ohm version, just buy that one instead. Or buy 2 4 ohm subs and wire in parallel.

It will not be too much. However, you will need to be sure the amp is 2000w rms not peak. Each speaker is a 1500 watt peak 400 rms. Make sure your amp can output enough to support both.

Take your your amp to the stereo store they will tell you if that will work, that what I did to my amp, it depend on how many bridge and channel you have? I don't know what you have on your amp?

The short answer, yes. If you look at the spec sheet for this amp you will see that it IS rated to run a pair of 2 ohm speakers in stereo. With a 2 ohm load the amp is rated for 150w x 2 RMS. This exceeds the ratings on your speakers. If you just turn the gain down a bit and keep them at reasonable levels you should be fine.

This amp is not putting out 2100 watts to your speakers. Your speakers are probably 8 ohms. If they are 8 ohms they are getting 230 watts to each channel. 1050 Watts x 2 Power Amplifier 230 + 230 Watts @ 8 Ohms - 460 + 460 Watts @ 4 Ohms - 920 + 920 Watts @ 2 OhmsYou will need a much more powerful amp. Good luck!

That depends on the impedance and make up of your speakers. The amp has only one channel but also allows you to bridge your load to recieve max power..
