I've got 2 sets of RE 6.5 comps that i'll be putting into my blazer. My question is would I be better using a 2ch or 4ch amp?? I currently have and Orion 400/4. I just wasn't sure if that would be good. Or should I look into getting an Orion 600/2 to push them with? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 
You have 2 sets of components = 4 sets of mids+tweeters+crossovers = 4 channels required for amp

It is possible to do it on 2 channels, but you'd be running at either 2 or 8 ohms on each channel (by hooking up each side in parallel or series, respectively) and you'd lose your fader ability on your HU

 
Ok, thats what I was thinking as well. I was just wanting to make sure before I start the install, thx. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
