making 4 channels out of 2? Yay or Nay

[BenWall]

I have a 2channel amp at the mo, and was just curious to weather if i put 2 cables into where one is suppost to go, so that I could have 2 subs off my amp would ruin the amp.

thanks

its more than likely possible mate, but it depends on your amp and subs

are they single voice coil or dual voice coil, and what is the amp ?

you say its a 2 channel amp.......what do you have connected to it at the moment ?

Connect your sub up to it and see if it works.

Then, if it works, which is probably will, get another one the same if possible. Connect them both up.

They'll both work, but you're providing half the power to each sub so they won't sound as good.

Better off getting 2 mono amps really.

adding two speakers in parallel halves the resistence, so 2x4ohm speakers will act as a 2 ohm speaker and pull too much current through the amp and more than likely screw it, if the amp is 2ohm stable them thats fine but if its not then don't do it
