Alpine4/3/2 amp help
I have a Alpine 4/3/2 3553 amp and need to wire 6 speakers and 2 tweeters. Where do the wires go?Thanks.

Can it be done this way?
6 spkrs. 3 to 1 left channel, wired 2 in series and the 3rd in parallel. That should cancel the ohm doubling or 1/2ing. Remaining 3 wired to other right channel in same fashion. Tweeters to remaining 2 channels (1 tweeter per channel) |
Not sure what you mean? There are 4 terminals on top and 4 terminals below it. The 2 on the left say - and +, 2 on the right say - and +, with the 2 outside ones saying bridged. Same for the 4 below. Electrically impaired as you can tell.

Basically, you have two right channels, and two left channels. Channel=speaker. If you have a pair of speakers that have separate tweeters you need a crossover. If you wire the tweeters direct to the amp, you will blow them.
You need the + and - to go to each speaker. Forget about the "bridged" labeling, you will not be bridging the amp. Lets say you have four cockpit speakers and two cabin speakers. I would run all four speakers off top left and right channels on the amp. Then run the cabin speakers off bottom left and right. This way you can fade the cockpit speakers out if you were chillin in the cabin at night. This is assuming the speakers are 4 ohm, and the amp is 2 ohm stable. |
