One would think that when you attach 4 speakers to 4 channels that it would drop into 4ohms, but that would cause the amplifier to increase its power (double the watts); however, the opposite happens the sound softens. When I wire 4 speakers in parallel to the A speaker channels THEN the power boosts and it sounds great. But, I only have the two small speakers (New Bose 301, which sound great by the way) and the one DCM12a Loudspeaker. It produces great base so I wanted to utilize it. No Sub out on the amp. Someday I’ll get another DCM, but for now I only have one.I’m wondering if there is a way that I can “fake†a speaker on the B-left channel in order for the amp to think there is 4 speakers hooked up?
What about wiring the DCM speaker to the B channel but only use the B-Left pos to the B-Right neg? This will cause the amp to see 4 ohms on the B speaker set, won’t it?
