"the way i understood it was that if you have a 2 ohm minimum amp and
you have 2 4 ohm speakers that the total ohm rating will drop down to
2
ohms.
I guess im wrong :("
This is true for a single channel of the amp but not for the amp as a
whole.
ex. two 4ohm speakers in parallel on one channel = 2ohm load/
One 4ohm speaker on each channel of a two channel amp = two 4ohm loads

could i hook them up in parallel and direct all the power of the amp to
one channel? |

You'll be better off just hooking them up in stereo.
And running at 2 ohm could cause problems down the road
At 2 ohm the amp runs hotter, and distortion doubles, though probably
not auditable . |

You could bridge the two channels, usually by useing the positive from
one channel and negative from the other, but its not recommended to go
below 4ohms bridged unless your amp is designed for it. Your amp may be
2ohm stable but it is most likely only 4ohm stable for bridged
operation. Read the owners manual. It will explain all of this and
should have a diagram for wiring.

Probably wouldn't hear the distortion either. =o) |

I don't see any tweets in your list of hardware or crossovers. Are the 4's
and 6x9's coax? The group has come up with several ways to wire your
equipment. But you have not stated how you expect to get a full range of
music.

4's are basically mids going up front? and the 6x9's in the rear? Remember
your mids and tweets are supposed to be closer to you and preferably facing
you. Is the power off the head unit going to be enough power for the 4's to
keep up with the rest of the system?

thats not what i ment there are tweeters in the 6x9's and the 4"
speakers, and those four speakers are powered by amps, but i was
thinking about gettin some more tweeters and hooking them up to the
fronts on the headunit just for a little more high frequency juice. |
