How can I power 4 speakers with a 2-channel amp?

How do I know if i should use an amp to power my speakers?

  • to start with I have a Pioneer DEH-P3000IB (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Source/CD-Players/DEH-P3000IB) dash that runs at 50Wx4 max power and 14Wx4 RMS, and for christmas I got Pioneer ts-g971m (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5155435) speakers that run at 40W RMS and 300W peak power, so I was wondering if it would damage my speakers or my dash's amp if i hooked the speakers up to my dash, I would rather not hook up another amp because I already have a 1000W amp hooked up to my sub woofers and when ever I turn the bass up at night my lights flash with the beat (I need a better battery and/or alternator) and I dont even know if I can hook another amp up to my dash.

  • Answer:

    No don't hook up another amp directly to the dash as you wont have enough power, buy another battery and connect your highest watt amp to it, while connecting the other amp to the dash.

For those speakers you don't need an amp. You head unit is producing about 20 RMS and the speakers are only 40 so when you turn up the volume you will easily get to 40 RMS. So no you don't need to get an amp for those speakers, just connect them with the stock wiring that is already there. Hook them up and it'll sound pretty nice. For your sub amp pulling to much power and causing the lights to flash i would get a better battery and perform "the big three." It should help keep the lights from flickering.
