To bridge or not to bridge

According to the sight if you do the series parallel combo the amp will still see the 3ohm load which will allow the amp to push the same power its pushing now. It looks a little complicated but would give you more power.

I believe the wiring diagram you are referring to involves wiring four speakers to a single channel, whereas bzubke1 is looking at wiring two speakers to one channel.

I'll give it a shot this afternoon and let you know how it goes. So if I wire them in series I will end up with each channel of the amp seeing a 6 ohm load is that correct? The amp does 90x4 at 2ohm, 70x4 at 4ohm. So each channel will see about 50watts and each speaker about 25watts. I wonder if I will get more volume out of two speakers powered at 80 watts or four at 25 watts?

I'm thinking you're better off driving two speakers at 80 watts. 25 watts is not a lot of power. I think it's time to upgrade to a 6 channel I've got the JL M6600 driving my 6 in cabin Exile speakers and am really happy with it. Clean, full range sound and more volume that I ever need.

With two speakers needing to share one channel, you can either wire them in series or parallel. In parallel = too low of an impedance and series puts it in a safe zone, but with a little loss of output.

If the output is not up to snuff, then add a small 2 chnl amp for the pair in the bow.

Your right about that being for 4 speakers on one channel, didn't notice that at first I guess. Work can be distracting sometimes!! These Polks sound good for the money but they are kind of a pain.
