head unit and speaker question

[kwickez]

i have a head unit that puts out 50x4 but i want to know if i only use the front speakers (take the rear one out) will the front speakers use all the ampage from the head unit? if not is there a way to do this???

i'm pretty sure that the speakers are all individually driven from the unit and the 50w is the total of all four speakers combined. You can just fade all the way to the front and just use the front speakers. I doubt they will see any extra power left over from the rears being gone.

what you do is take your stock speaker wire form the harness and connect them with the amped one form the head. then you will have 8 wires 2 for each speaker. what you do is take the driver side door speakers pos. and connect it with the dashs pos and same with the neg.s. do this to each side you should end up with four wires. take the two pos wires and put it on the dash speakers pos and the same with the negs take the two and put it on the neg terminal. do the same for the other side. that just changed it form 4 channels to 2. which means each speaker will get about 80 watts.

just run the dash speakers on the front channel. there should be plenty of power to run some cheap dash speakers. do not plug both positives (front and rear) into the same speaker. the speaker will be fed two different signals.

a better route would be to buy a highend amplifier. you would notice a difference with this upgrade.
