[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8859671, member: 674149"] 3 ohms speakers are generally what some manufacturers do with factory systems, and wire the components in series. If your amp can do 2 ohm and 4 ohm, then it can definitely do 3 ohm, and therefor also might designed for lower wattage. If you already have em no reason you can't give em a try. You're going to want tweeters if you're doing components or not doing two/three ways. Sounds like what you need instead is a set of crossovers. Crossovers split the frequencies. Crossovers go between your amp and speakers. They take the outgoing amp signal, and split the frequencies at their preset range so that the mids get their range, and the tweeters get their range. This way they both get the full power output from the amp. So instead of sending 4 x 50w with full range to tweeters and two mids, you send out 2 x 50w, the crossover splits it about 3K-3500hz, and you get two mids getting below 3K @ 50w, and you get two tweeters getting above 3K @ 50w.
