Setup Questions from a newbie

[toyjoha]

I am lost on what to do and I am requesting some help. All of the components that I have, I took off my boat. I did not install them on the boat. I have tested all of them with a multimeter. I looked up the specs on all of them.
Here is what I am working with:
Front Speakers: 5.25 4-Way
RMS: 75w
Peak: 150w
Impedance: 4 ohms
Freq Resp: 85 Hz - 20 kHz
Sensitivity: 93dB

Middle Speakers: 6.5 2-Way
RMS: 75w
Peak: 150w
Impedance: 4 ohms
Freq Resp: 100Hz – 18KHz
Sensitivity: 90 dB @ 1 W/1 m

Back Speakers: 6.5
RMS: 20w
Peak: 100w
Impedance: 4 ohms
Freq Resp: 45Hz-12kHz

Subwoofer: Massive Audio GTX104
10 inch
DVC
RMS: 700w
Peak: 1400w
Impedance: 4 ohms
Freq Resp:? kHz
Sensitivity: 87.5 dB

Amplifier: Rockville RMX-S6
6 Channel
Dual 2 Ohm, 2.5 Inch Voice Coil
RMS: 700 Watt RMS,
Peak: 1400w

Here is what I am thinking:
Channel 1 Left front speaker 70w@4 Ohm
Channel 2 Right front speaker 70w@4 Ohm
Channel 3 Left Middle and Back speakers 70w@4 Ohm
Channel 4 Right Middle and Back speakers 70w@4 Ohm
Channel 5
JUMPED to Sub in series
Channel 6

Thanks in Advance,

Are your rear and middle speakers 8 ohms? If they are 4 ohm speakers you would have 2 ohms once you wire them together. If your amp can do 2 ohm, it would work fine, otherwise those speakers need to be 8 ohm speakers.

I see your speakers are all 4 ohms.

Looking up your amp and it does appear to be able to run at 2 ohms (not bridged). Seems like your plan would work.

Just curious what 5-¼" 4 way speaker you are using up front? Why not run the 6-½'s up front?

They are all 4 Ohms. I did not think that I could push them to 2 ohms. Plus wouldn't that increase the watts to higher than the rear speakers can handle?

Won't fit. I even had to get adapters for the 5.25 to fit. Factory was 4x6. I know you might be thinking they are the doors, but it's a jeep and we have not had the doors on since we bought it 7 years ago.

You figure it out yet? Amps not nearly powerful enough. Sub is 700 watts RMS. Amp is 700 watts RMS at 4 ohm.
That's all you should be powering with that amp.
And thats a perfect match btw.
Now add up the # of speakers and multiply by 70. Its 8 speakers? Find an amp that runs 600 RMS at 4 ohm and youre good.
