Chuchero (Speaker Box)…WHAT AMP DO I USE???

So I plan on getting (2) 10’ 4 Ohm PRV Midrange Speakers, (2) 4’ PRV Bullet Tweeters, and the compression driver is a PRV 2’ exit 8 Ohm. I need help deciding what kind of amp and how many to drive those speakers. I do plan on wiring the mids in parallel to 2 ohms and wire the tweeters in series to 8 ohms and then wire them in parallel to the horn driver which 8 ohms and when wire together with the tweeters should get a 4 ohms reading. Any feedback or help is welcomed, Thank You!

The Mid Speakers are 650W (325W RMS) 4 Ohms

The Tweeters are 200W (100W RMS) 4 Ohms

The Driver is 200W (100W RMS) 8 Ohms

PS: Do I need en equalizer for each type of speaker? So for example do I need an eq for the subs, one for the mids, and one for the highs for a total of 3?

My suggestion-
You could get a 4 channel full bridge amplifier. Use the front channels for the mids and tweeters. Wire one tweeter parallel with one midrange. Put a Bass Blocker capacitor on the positive of the tweeter. Set the x-over to high pass @100Hz 12dB.
For the sub you bridge the rear channels. Set the x-over to 80Hz and 12dB.
Set gains and you should be fine.

My main concern would be what type of crossover do you plan to use? I guess you're willing to lose stereo sound on the midrange/midbass drivers? Do you really need bullet tweeters if you're going to use horn loaded compression drivers?

Same brand as well. Either a PRV or Clarion crossover if that’s what you mean. The speaker box is setup for 2 Mid Speakers, 2 Tweeters and 1 Horn Driver. I’ve seen people started doing 2 Mids with 3 tweeters. Idk the difference but that’s the setup of the box.

So you’re saying I technically run everything on one amplifier?

Yes. As Jimi77 stated, this method allows you to keep stereo imaging.
Hold up. Now that I see the box, my suggestion is wrong. I thought you mislabeled Woofer as Driver. Now that I see it, the horn driver is not needed. Those midranges play so wide that alot of users do not use tweeters. In this case you could use a 2 channel with just the Bass Blockers on the tweeters.

Passive crossover? How many channels? That's an odd box. Is this for a car audio system or for DJ duty?
 
Agreed. I'm not sure what the application is - looks like a mobile DJ speaker.
So you usually see this type of thing with Hispanic people. I’m Dominican myself. The speaker box will be sitting in the back seat like a child so I don’t know if the fade option is really an issue for me as I’m not mounting the speakers on the car. I guess you can call it a mobile DJ Speaker 📦.

I'd just wire it up to an 2 channel. I see no reason to wire the mids in parallel. The compression driver can be wired bridged.
