[QUOTE="musiqlover, post: 5086178, member: 602785"] Right now I plan on removing my rear speakers and just leaving the fronts. I have an amp hooked up to the fronts with these specs: # 50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms # 75 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms # 150 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms My front speakers specs: 5.25" 60 rms x 2 @ 4ohms. If I happen to decide on putting rear fills in the future how will the power get distributed between all these speakers? I understand that my amp can supply 50 RMS between 4 speakers, so, if I already have two in the front that are using 60 watts each how much power do I have left for the backs? I'm not quite sure how the amplifier is working this all out. And since I only have 2 speakers hooked up, how could may amp be supplying so much power (150 x 2) when the speakers themselves only require 60 each. Can someone please clear up the confusion? I've had someone in the past put the system together and I want to be a DIYer like everyone else now. Thanks [/QUOTE]
