So, nowadays most car radios give a 50 Watts output. I have got 2 100 RMS Watts speakers to put in my car. Since the radio has 4 outputs available, is it wrong to connect the 2 outputs to 1 speaker?
Thanks.
I'm not sure this will give you the result you're seeking

Damn it. The result I'm seeking as you've probably guessed is to take full advantage of the 100 Watts.
get a new head unit or an amp
I googled "Head Unit" (English isn't my first language) and it showed me car radios (or how you call them). Is that what you mean? Because I browsed well known brands such as Pioneer and their output is 50 Watts.
thats why you get an amplifier
you are looking in all the wrong places then, dj_knight.
in about five minutes i found 6 units.

first of all, if your speakers are rated at 100w rms, you'd need to use all 4 channels, as head units are given a very over-rated peak power of 50 watts, when they only produce about 17-18 watts rms.
2nd, head units are incapable of going below 4ohms. If you bridged the channels, you would need speakers with a much higher impedance.
In short, it's not possible unless they're 8 ohm speakers, which they aren't.

Ok, thanks.
Get an amp, you'll get more out of your system if you're upgrading from stock audio.
yeah get an external amp. head units have two rating of power RMS (usually 10-25watts) and max power (which is what they can do in very short bursts.) RMS is what the head unit can put out continuously which is what you want to be looking at.
also if you were talking about a subwoofer with dual voice coils and not speaker yes you could hook up two outputs (one to each voice coil) but you'd have to gain match the two amps perfectly
