Admiral Koresh Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I've decided i would rather give my speakers a little more juice since i listen to music mainly instead of 4-speaker games. So i was wondering if there is any serious problems with running each sat on the front and rear channel? I have the inputs running into a splitter so the signal for both is the same. But i'm wondering if the fader will cause problems with this setup? Also....just to make sure i'm doing it right. It goes front positive to front left, and negative to rear left? Then same for the right speaker?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatKnight Posted June 7, 2001 Share Posted June 7, 2001 are you trying to just split the inputs together so the front and rear speakers sound the same, or are you trying to actually connect both pairs of speakers to the same channel in the amp? i don't think the latter would work, because the speakers probably aren't designed to take 130 watts (maybe peak, but not RMS). even if it did work, the sound would be really imbalanced because the midrange and treble would be a lot louder then the bass.

Admiral Koresh Posted June 8, 2001 Author Share Posted June 8, 2001 I don't have to worry about blowing the sats because i'm not using the klipsch sats. I'm running some Paradigm Titans on the system now. And yes I am trying to run my 2 speakers off the 4 channels. I want to give these paradigms the power they deserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CivicRydr Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 I mostly mess around with CarStereo amps when I do any bridge-ing and am not sure about how to do it on the Promedia amp. But what I do know is that in order to bridge a car amp, what you do is normally connect both wires of the speker to the positives terminals of the two channels you are trying to bridge. In addition to that, there is a bridge mode setting to the amp that allows it to do this. I'm not sure if the ProMedia amps have this feature. If you try to bridge your speakers in the way I have explained, probably nothing would work. Or the thing might blow up on you. Give it a try and let me know...hehe.

Btrigg Posted June 18, 2001 Share Posted June 18, 2001 I think that most speakers weren't ment to handle that kind of impedence. The sats get to something like 3.6 ohms at full blast. I also think the fader will mess it up unless you can find the setting where the front and rear are equal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
