Orion Extreme 800.4 Needs bridging

[dialtone1]

I dont know how to hook up my amp to maximize the output. It has so many options. Can someone tell me if i should brige the front channel with the rear channel or hook both speakers to rear or should the rcas be hooked up differentley Please help!

What are you hooking up?? Typically in a simple system, a 4 ch amp will power a front set of speakers on the front channels, and you bridge the rear set to a subwoofer.

50wx4 pioneer 4500 with front and rear output RCA's with Infinty Component 5x7 with filters, An Orion Extreme 800watt 4channel Amplifier. How should the rca's and the speakers be hooked up. I Have all this hooked up to 2 Cerwin Vega Dual Voice coil 10's.With 300W Rms Rating. Both coils are hooked in parallel, making the 4ohm speaker in to a 2ohm Load.

do you have 2 pairs of infinities or just one pair....? Either way you dont have anything special to do with the RCA's Front out, and Rear out both go into the amps related inputs.

What I'd do.... if you just have the infinities in front (one pair), run them to the front channels of the amp 4 ohms a side.... Then wire the subs series each, to get 8 ohms per sub, parallel the pair to the rear channels, or just leave the subs 2 ohms a piece and run each independently to the rear channels.

Just run the RCA's normally.... front into the front channel inputs usually 1 and 2, and the rear RCA's into the rear inputs 3, and 4.

Or.... If you just want to run the infinities off the HU... and your amp supports 2 ohm loads bridged, just run a sub per bridged pair of channels, like 1 sub bridged on pos ch 1 and neg on ch 2, and the other the same on the rear channels...
