When you unplug the rear speakers in a car from your 4 channel amp and just power your sub will all the power from the amp go directly to the sub?

What is a channel in amplifier mean?
a channel refers to the speakers or subs. for example a 2 channel amp can power 2 subs or speakers. a 4 channel will power 4.
Will I be able to lower the subwoofer separately on these computer speakers or is all the power run through the subwoofer.?
Most computer speakers with subwoofer have the power going directly to it, so it is needed to get an extension for all the other speakers.
What size amp do you need for 6 and a half Sony speakers that has 190 Watt peak power and 40 rms and Sony 6 by 9 speakers that has 300 Watt peak power and 60 rms?
200 RMS 4 channel or 2 channel so u know add the rms of the speakers to find the amp rms needed
Do the speakers that come with the Sony KLH40X1 monitor need their own power cord?
No, they will be connected directly into the monitor itself.
What wattage output is a stock radio in a 2000 Silverado?
My trucks a 2001 and the stock stereo put out about 10rms per channel, i recently replaced the speakers and they needed more power for high volume so i am now running an alpine deck with 25rms for each channel giving the speakers the power they need to function properly,
What is a 3 4 and 5-Channel Amp used for with bass in a car?
With Subwoofers only, you would want to go with only a 1 channel or 2 channel amp, 5 channel amps are designed to power 4 smaller speakers, and 1 subwoofer. Each channel basically refers to a different speaker - if you're using 2 regular left and right Speakers (not Subwoofers), use 2 channel setting, if you have 4 Speakers plus a subwoofer, use 5 channel setting. Make sure subwoofer is tested with the lowest gain/volume.
What is the purpose of an audio amplifier in a car?
pretty much A to provide more power to speakers if it is a 2 channel or 4 channel or B provide power to one or more subwoofers kind of general question if you are more specific i can refine my answer more
After turning the volume all the way up on your speakers you still cannot hear any sound what is the next step?
Did you.. - plug it in ? - hook up the power ? - on what device are you using those speakers ? - Is it ON ? _ If its a computer .. Is the sound card detected ?
What size audio amplifier will you need to buy to power four 60 watts speakers 8 ohms impedance Frequency Response 120 Hz - 20 kHz?
There are several ways to drive four speakers. For simplicity, this answer assumes that the amplifier will be a two channel stereo amplifier - one channel for left and one for right hand channels. It also assumes that the speakers will be connected in parallel, that is, both positive terminals wired together and both negative terminals together. The two speakers together will be the equivalent of a four ohm speaker. First, make sure the amplifier is rated to drive four ohms to both the left and the right speaker. Most amplifiers will handle a four ohm load but some are aonly designed for eight ohms. The manual will tell you what the amplifier can handle. The speakers can handle up to 120 Watts per channel when two are used together. To fully drive the speakers, an amplifier of 120W per channel will be needed. However, that is the worst possible size of amplifier to use if you are going to run the system near its peak power output. Here's why: Speakers are able to cope much more power than their rated power. The sound will be terrible but generally, the speakers will not be damaged. Speakers can also cope with a distorted signal from an amplifier as long as the power level is a lot less than the rated speaker power. However, overdrive the amplifier when it is delivering the full power rating of the speaker and the high power distortion is very likely to cause damage to the speaker. The choice of amplifier should either be higher or lower than the speaker rating. A 30W per channel amplifier will still have a great deal of power to offer and the output will be far louder than most people would ever want in a living room. If the amplifier is over-driven, the low power level avoid speaker damage. A 200W per channel amplifier will drive the speakers harder but with a clean signal. If you want to run the speakers close to their maximum level, choose an amplifier of this power output or higher. A note about power levels: True power output is always measured as an RMS figure. Music power is approximately twice RMS power and peak music power is about twice the level of music power. Therefore, if the speakers are rated at 60W peak music power, they actually have a rating of just 15 Watts RMS. When comparing amplifiers and speakers, always make sure you use the same units, RMS, Music or Peak Music. Never mix them.
What kind of cable do I need to hook my laptop to some good speakers?
Most laptops come with a line out or headphone jack.In general it's going to receive a 3.5mm miniStereo jack.That's fine because you'll need computer speakers with their own AC adapter to power them.Go online or to a computer parts store and pick out a good set of powered speakers.Remember that the AC adapter continues to draw power even if you're not using the speakers,You want to unplug it when it's not in use so that you're not paying for your speakers to on a desk.
You have your speakers plugged into your computer but you are not getting any sound?
Some speaker systems come with a power supply unit that plugs into a normal outlet. With those, there is a switch on one of the speakers along with a volume control. Also, check your "volume control" settings under "accessories" to make sure the speakers aren't "muted" in that control panel. Check both speakers to be sure that there are batteries where there need to be. Then, unplug the speakers, checking to be sure that you are plugging them into the right spots. Finally, see if the on switch is on.
Can you connect a pair of speakers to your computer?
In general, you cannot connect a pair of speakers to a computer, because the computer's sound board does not normally include a power amplifier fit to drive a speaker.It might be possible to drive very small speakers with a high impedance directly from a sound board's headphone output, though.Note that most "PC Speakers" can be directly connected to a computer's audio output because the speaker itself contains a power amplifier. Strictly speaking, such a speaker is a combination of a loudspeaker and an amplifier (sometimes also called an active speaker).
