1BigDog Posted October 14, 2011 Share #1 Posted October 14, 2011 In the process of wiring up my new Polk 401 speakers. From what I have read the rear speakers are only mono. Has anyone rewired the rears for a true stereo sound? Can this be done? Everything is apart so I can run new wires to the rear, bypassing the stock wiring. Thanks for any info.

The only way I could see to make it true stero would be to tap off the front speakers, however I might worry about the extra impedance load.

I do not see rear speakers standard on the Gen 1 MKII schematic, only the fronts. Why do you think they would be mono? Speakers and power amps: Your power amplifier is rated at a max power into a specified load. I think the stock speakers are 4 ohms and the power amp is rated into 4 ohms. If your Polk speakers are 8 ohms, you can parallel two speakers per channel for 4 ohms. Half the amplifier power will go to each speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etcswjoe Posted October 15, 2011 Share #5 Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) What is the impedance of the stock 2nd gen speakers? The Polk speakers are 4 Ohm. Edited October 15, 2011 by etcswjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
