[QUOTE="deadrx7conv, post: 8857487, member: 625663"] Bridging f/r door speakers isn't half ass. Not all use the fader or have an unlimited budget. I don't know what "bare minimum" is. The amp has pretty good power at 4ohm. At two ohms, it should be more. And, if the a crossover is being used at the amp, it takes considerably less power to power a mid/tweet than a subwoofer. My 500w sub amp matches my 50w door speakers amp just fine. So, I don't see "bare minimum". The quality of those speakers isn't high end. They won't take much RMS for much time. Make sure you're blocking the bass from the doors and the highs/mids from the sub. Use the LPF/HPF, and I'd start at 80hz.... if you want the door speakers to live longer go higher in the 100-150hz range, depending on how high the sub plays. Generic entry level 6.5" coaxials don't play too low no matter what the marketing bullcrap make believe manufacturer's speaker specs say. If one brand of your door speakers is more efficient than the other, you might have to swap their locations to make your ears happy. I'd prefer the louder ones up front. 2-way or 3-way in a cheap coaxial means little. And, whether its ideal or not depends on your ears. Nothing wrong with running mismatched #way speakers in parallel if they are similar in impedance. You might hear the efficiency difference. You have a simple 4 speaker system + sub with a 4 channel amp. Enjoy it for what it is. [/QUOTE]
