Default Quick Question on Amps and Speakers

Can I use a 4 channel Amp to run 2 6x9s and a 10" sub? Amp is 80 x 4 / 250 x 2...would bridge the sub and then run 1 6x9 on each channel....Would the sub get 250 and each 6x9 125?


Thanks

Yes that would work just fine. According to those numbers the sub would get 250, each 6x9 would get 80. Because you arent bridging the other 2 channels.Now those numbers don't seem to make sense...so whether they are"real", or max, or they just pulled em out of their a$$ is another question. Oh and make sure the sub you're bridging to half the amp is a 4-ohm sub. Unless there's the rare chance the amp is 2-ohm stable bridged (unlikely).

I think it should only supply the sub 125 watts (half the 250) and 80 per 6X9

Pending what "250" actually means (RMS, MAX, nothing at all) Why would it only get half of that?

I read it as bridging 2 channels each side for 250 since he's bridging one it's 1/2 dunno for sure
