Wiring a 5 channel amp at two different Impedances

[Cashby94]

Can a 5 channel amp that's rated to do 75w x4 and 350 x1 at 4 ohms, and 100w x4 and 600w x1 at 2 ohms, be wired at 4 ohms for the mids and highs so they get 75w rms and wired at 2 ohms on the sub channel so it gets 600w? Trying to figure out if I should just get two different amps or if I can get what I want with a 5 channel!

You basically answered your own question. The power ratings @ diff ohm loads answers your question. I'm currently doing the same. What amp is it?

I was just making sure that all the channels didn't have to match impedance. Would have been a shame if that were an issue and I find out the hard way. It's a pioneer GM-D9705

As long as you wire your speakers/subs to the amps' recommended ohm load, should be fine, otherwise the mfgr wouldn't have made the ratings at diff ohm loads. Pioneer has been around a long time.
