Sorry to ask this basic question :How to wiring a 2 channel amp with 4 bullet hollowpoints
My amp is a Hifonics Zeus ZXI9000( 2X300W AT 4 ohms and 1x900w bridged at 4 ohms)
This amp is not stable to run in 2ohms!

Dont know a thing about the Hookedonfonics amp, but if it can be bridged with a 4 Ohm load, then why would it not be stable at 2 Ohm's per chnl? I'm guesseing it would be 450 watts x 2 @ 2 Ohm!

Steve thank you for your answer but there is only one chanel!...

Steve's diagram is intended for bridging, and yes, you can bridge speakers as they are just smaller subwoofers....or is it that subwoofers are just big speakers. It's probably safe to say that your 2 chnl is a full-range amp, so it will work with speakers or subs.

Just to clarify, my replay wasn't about bridging, but drawing the conclusion that the amp is indeed 2 Ohm stable based on the fact that it shows a bridged spec. Bridging with a 4 Ohm load puts a 2 ohm load on each chnl, therefor, i'd say that amp is stable at 2 Ohm. So I see no issue in running your 4 speaker off that 2 chnl amp - 1 pair wired parallel on one chnl and the other pair wired parallel on the other chnl. Based on the specs you posted, that would net 225 watts to each speaker.

I do that in parallel but after 5 minutes I ear a noise in one pair - after a short stop all is now ok and after 5 minutes the bad noise is back....That's why i say it's not stable in 2 ohmes...May be i'm wrong

Manual says 2 ohm stable. You probably need to read an article on how to properly set amp gains.

Thaks all for your answers!
I try the "mono bridge" solution to stay in 4 ohmes
