picked up a 70 watt amp. nothing big for now. 2 channel

wondering if i can use 1 channel to push the sub and 1 channel to push the two back speakers. how do i know if i can connect my rear speakers in paralle or series wihtout blowing htem?

thanks
also will i need a capacitor?

 

give it a try but I bet the sub won't do much with only 70 watts

 

but how do i know if i can wire my speakers in parallel without blowing them
cuz im thinking i can do it this way
channel 1 + -->to sub
- --> to sub

channel 2 + --> to speaker number 1 positive and speaekr 2 positive
- --> to speaker number 1 negative and speaker 2 negative

i checked the speakers boxes, and they dont say anything about if i can run the speaekrs on 2ohms or 4ohms and the amp doesn't tell me how much ohm is one channel.

 

I think your best bet is to run the speakers off of the head unit and bridge the amp to power the sub. If you wanted to run two speakers and a sub off of one amp, then you probably should look for a 4 channel amp, and bridge two of the channels to power the sub.

 

running a mono signal might sound like ***!

 

I don't know about your amp. but on my little 2 channel I can run a sub bridged, and still have one speaker on each channel.

 

With passives yes that would work..I would buy a seperate amp and run one for fronts one for sub!

 

im looking at buying a 300W pioneer amp 2 channel and ill bridge the two channels to run the sub cuz i cant run the speaekrs parallel as they are rated for 4 ohms

 

You can run speakers in parallel, they will just be mono sounding not stereo...

 

i ended up buying the sony xplod 800W amp. I ran the sub mono, they showed me how to in the manual and i connected it to the speaker wires so it plays and pounds though the sub. As for the speakers, i doubt i can run them as parallel as i checked the perimeters on them and they are 4 ohm speakers.
