Ok, so I am just wondering what would be the best way to hook my speakers up. I did a little drawing of what the most obvious wa to me would be, but I'm no expert and was looking for opinions. If you don't mind, could you show me the best way to do this. Thanks.

The amp I am using is a Cadence SQA-4100 http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=58&idproduct=201

The speakers I am using are wetsound XS-650's http://www.wetsounds.com/pages/products/XS-650.html

1&2 go to the out side speakers 3&4 go to the middle. Thats how I would do it.

If the amp has a crossover it will control 1&2 and 3&4. You would be able to tune middle pair different then the out side pair. The second picture is how I would do it but thats just me.

Are the going on your tower or in your cabin? IFin the cabin run front off 1&2 and the rear off 3&4.

If going on the tower I agree with Aaron. that is how I would do it. Two insides on either 3&4 or 1&2 and the other outside two on the unused set.

BTW let uis know how you think those sound

Ok, i see. These are going in the Cabin. sorry about the confusion. I was just mainly wondering if I needed to bridge them or not.

Just give them to me and I will hook them up in my boat. I promise to tell you how they sound.

Brandon, Hook up the 4 ch as a 4 ch amp running them all at 4 ohms. Pair the front on chs 1 and 2 then the rears on chs 3 and 4. This way you can tune them on their own. Usually the people in the front get to sit real close to the speakers, so it is nice to be able to back those down a bit etc...So this will let you adjust your gains that way.

Just noticed that on my amp I have 4 RCA Inputs. That means that I am going to need 2 RCA cables correct? But wiring kits only come with one cable, so will I have to purchase 2 wiring kits?

Your amp should have a front and rear RCA input so yes if you want to be able to control them front to rear then you'll need 2. If you're ok with running them on either F or R then you can use a 2 splitters and 1 cable. I do this for my cabin speakers on the rear and my towers on the front from my HU to a separate amp. This allows me to send most of the music to the towers when someone is riding and I dont wanna blast the observers.
