Sax 100.4 tri mode

[shizzzon 461]

can someone explain this to me in simple terms of how it works?

I'm trying to understand how it works but am giving myself a headache.

I want this amp to power 2 fronts, 2 rears and 2 "show off" external speakers.

Now, by doing a standard wiring job, all 4 in car speakers @4ohm would be receiving as advertised 100w per speaker. I set all the x-overs on the amp the way i want them to be.

I then decide to hookup these 2 extra speakers in tri mode by bridging each of the 2 speakers on ch1+2 and ch3+4.

This is where i get lost...

If the original speakers were receiving 100w before, what are they getting now including the add-on speakers?

The amp is rated for 320x2 @4ohm... so i was thinking that all speakers receive 107w a piece? But then again that doesnt sound right either so i'm confused.

I need to know how much power the tri-mode speakers will receive so i know how powerful of a pair of speakers i need to purchase for that hookup.

ALSO- can't do it if this won't work either-

These external speakers are marine speakers mounted behind the grill of the vehicle for show off purposes. They will need to be on a kill switch. Is the proper way to do this in this wiring scenario to just run + or - on the kill switch per speaker?

also, if that works, if i decide to turn the speakers on, do i need to make sure the amp is OFF before doing so?

why not just run them in a switch off your H/U... or even get a saz 100.2.....

You don't have to speakers based on the power.

Not sure what you are showing off, either way it won't be much of a show.

Standard wiring is in effect meaning that you will have to connect 4 of the drivers to two outputs and run the amp at 2ohms on those channels. And yes, you only need to "kill" one of the leads.

Free air marine speakers will sound like ass and not last btw.

i gotta be honest shizzon... this is the first strange thing i have seen you say.

u need pa speakers

aka he wants to blast his music with his windows down

it's a weight issue, need less amps as possible, that's why i want to try the tri mode thing.

2nd, someone told me i needed marine speakers for this application.

All it's for is just for louder instrumentation, no bass.

I'll have to see if i can shut off the internal amp in this HU i got, never looked yet.

That does sound easier, forgot about doin that.

Ok then, no tri mode for me, hehe.

I am racking on all the equipment in a big list and seeing how much everything weighs so i know what i will actually run in the vehicle. Trying to stay under 400 lbs.

ooo well your planing with the wrong subs... you need some critical mass UL's
