Even with some fancy series and parallel wiring? |

In the venue http://www.socialsportskitchen.com/home.html is next to impossible to run wires, especially to the amp rack which is on the second floor. Everything is sheet rocked and I would have to do some major cutting and snaking to get a line up there. Three lines are avail for subs at the moment; 2 on the dance floor and 1 on the bar side. So with that said, I (me) would LOVE too be able to rewire that entire place "the right way" and have 4 speakers, 2 per channel, per amp but thats not really an option at this point in time for the venue. In the meantime I'm stuck with 6 extra of those RCF subs and one 12ga line. |

Decent damping factor aside, if you mean by "three lines", six conductors, it is possible to use a single "-" on most amps, that is, amps that have both sides "-" tied together. That makes it possible to run four amp sides (two amplifiers) with six wires, one "-" and two "+" per amp. A hand full of wire nuts and away you go... |

I guess i have to apologize again, I put this in the basement and entitled "game" because I didn't mean for it to be as serious of a discussion as it turned out to be. I was just looking for stupid answers like 6 per channel. Sorry. On a serious note, the venue in question is a great friend of mine and doesn't always do things "the right way" but rather "any way it works way" (except for rigging and safety I stand firm), and being the owner, if it makes noise (speakers) and moves around (lights) he's happy and thinks its great! He doesn't understand or care to understand what comb filtering or impedance/resistance is. Oh did I mention before he bough his first bar he was a DJ by trade? Needless to say he didn't loose those wonderful DJ attributes we all know and love In the venue http://www.socialsportskitchen.com/home.html is next to impossible to run wires, especially to the amp rack which is on the second floor.
