In looking at amps, I had originally decided on the JBL P80.4, but the speakers I am buying can take up to 60W RMS and the JBL produces only 40W. So I went looking for another amp and found a nice US Acoustics amp that produces 4x65W RMS, which is too much for the speakers. Is there a way of reducing the power that the amp is producing, either directly on the amp, or through something in the wiring to the speakers?
And a second question, if I buy a 4 channel amp and don't use the back two channels to start with, and bridge them later, is the amp going to treat the front two like bridged channels and start pushing more than 100W through the fronts? Is there a way to deactivate the back two channels, or is that necessary? Do I need to buy a 2 channel amp or buy the sub for the back two channels now in order to prevent the destruction of my components?
