If its a big 2 channel, id just run them in parallel, (3) speakers per channel, + to + and - to -, should give you a final load of around 2.66 ohms, which should be fine depending on the specs of that amp.

well i just looked on alot of sites and that is the same specs on everyone of them

oh ok kool...so my front door speaker back to 1- 8 from that 8 to the other 8 and then to the amp?? sorry i'm being so confuseing lol same on each side?

I see what happen, the specs you posted had it as a 4 channel amp, but said it was 600w x 1 bridged, thats what threw me off, just found the specs myself,

Audiofonics.com

You have the ADF 243 correct? Not sure how close those amps do to rated power, but should be about 200w to each speaker roughly.

Pretty much, (1) 6" and (2) 8"s on each side and you should be good to go.

Naw, if you include the horn with one of the sides, its going to see 2ohm instead of 2.66ohm...me personally, if I was going that route, id buy a small 2 channel amp just for the horn, or horns. Doesnt have to be big, (25x2 or 50x2 should be fine) since most horns are pretty efficient anyway.

Trying to make quite a bit of noise I see, lol.

2.66ohm is not gunna hurt the 2ohm stable amp correct? or does it need to be right on 2 ohm?

Sure man, no problem, loving the work soo far, got to get off my ass and do something myself.

Trust me, it will be fine, as long as the amp is rated at 2 ohm stereo, which im pretty sure it is. Your good to go.

Now, if those were 4 ohm speakers, you might have a problem as the final ohm load would be 1.33, which would be too low for your amp.
