Ok i have have 2 channel 200 watt lightning audio amp that i used to run my tweeters but i got some new infinity speakers so i want to run that amp on them. My problem is on one of the channels the posative doesnt work for some reason. I did have the amp running in one ohm by putting all the posatives into one posative and the negatives into one bridged but it got really hot because the amp isnt one ohm stable. The negative works on both chans but the posative on one doesnt work. Is there any way i can wire all 4 speakers to get a 2 ohm load or am i fuxed? Thanks guys

SOunds like you fubared an output on the amp

but for future refernace, the infinity comps shoudl have a 4 ohm total load, so running those in paralell shoudl giv eyou 2 ohm load, but you wont have any left right seperation.

i got the amp for free, the one channel has always been fubared. And yeah i kno they have a 4 ohm load but how would I wire the speakers to get a 2 ohm load? I wired all posatives to one chan and all negatives to the negative but thats a 1 ohm load. Any way i can get 2?

the x represents the messed up channel, could i like connect all the posatives to the posative that works and then 2 negatives to one then 2 to the other? would that give me 2 ohms?

Which terminals you want ot hook it up to its up to you, I dont know your amp, but you can always try it on the good channel, and if that doesnt work, you can try using the negative form the bad channel and + fomr the good channel to bridge it..
