I'm running the JL M6600 to the six interior stock polk momo 6.5s. Currently they are run one speaker to each channel at 4ohms its rated at 75 watts each. I was just looking on JL's website and noticed that the amp is 4 ohm stable in bridged mode with a power output of 200 watts X 3 channels. I was thinking that if I ran two speakers to each bridged channel they would be getting more power. Now comes my question. How do I run the speaker wires to the amp to keep it at 4 ohms. I understand the bridged process of chan 1 + and chan 2 - but that's about it. thanks for your help!

RE: Quick amp wiring Q?
series plus bridged should get you there.
speaker 1 pos to chan 1 pos
speaker 2 neg to chan 2 neg
speaker 1 neg to speaker 2 pos.

Re: RE: Quick amp wiring Q?
travis can I just but connect the speaker 1 neg to the speaker 2 pos. ?????Originally posted by TravisFling
so essentially I would just disconnect speaker 1 neg from chan 1 neg and but connect to speaker 2 pos(which I would remove from chan 2 +) correct?'08 SAN 210 Team Black w/Patriot red top stripe-Tow Biminis over the tower-4 under water transom lights-hot/cold shower-crest carpet-full throttle steering wheel-extra 6 channel JL amp-Pro 80's-WS420-fiberglass sub enclosure-led'd vents-Chromax Letters-and Tinted windshield for now......

yep. You're running through a lot of cable that way, but it all works out in the end.Travis Fling

RE: Re: RE: Quick amp wiring Q?
Two 4 ohm loads in series would be an 8 ohm load on the bridged set of channels
Not going to get the 100 watts per he is looking for - You would be looking at something
on the order of 50 watts per speaker.2006 SANTE 210 (Pending Sale)

Series plus bridged will get you right back to where you started.
Don't bother rewiring the system.
You are better off tuning the crossovers to run in highpass to remove some of the bass then push the speakers a little harder. Maybe add an eq and run a hotter signal into the amp too? Or, you could upgrade to the new Polks that run 2.7 ohms, the lower impedence will force the amp to push out a bit more power, plus you will get a couple db's of extra efficiency from the new Polks too.Comment
