1 10'' on a 2 ch amp, can I put my 4 6.5's on the other channel?

[mrpep]

So I have a single 400 rms woofer and a 2 channel amp that has 400 rms per channel. I want to put 1 channel on the woofer and the other on the 6.5'' coaxial speakers. The speakers are 75 rms each so 300 watts combined and the woofer is 400 rms so it seems to kinda work out. What do you guys think? Can this work? I can use my balance control to adjust my sounds. Its for teh wifes car , she just needs a lil upgrade.

Find a cheap 2 channel for the coaxials?

I agree, find a cheap 2 ch for speakers. If you use one of the channels for speakers, you would not be able to distinguish between left and right.. It'll just turn into a mono signal. Do you know what the impedance for the coaxials are?

You can run the amp tri ch mono stereo...make sure sub is at 4 ohm load...use a passive sub crossover...then wire the 4 6.5s to an 8ohm load per side using passive HP crossovers...If everything is set properly it should sound nice...Id cross the 10 at 12db 75hz and HP the mids with a simple 6db slope at 150hz...

Can you suggest an extremely cheap crossover ? I'm talking boss, pyramid , it's for my wife's car so nothing real crazy. Just need better than factory .

on the highs you will just need a 100v 133mfd non polar capacitor per side...on the sub youll need..a 12mH coil and 375mF worth of 100v non polar caps...
