[QUOTE="slick316, post: 1479648, member: 547549"] Let's clear a few things up first. You have the Focal 130 KP for your fronts and the 165 CA for the rears, correct? Are you using the 450/4 to power BOTH sets? If so, use channels 1/2 on the amp (the 150watt channels) on the fronts (130 KP) and channels 3/4 on the amp (the 75watt channels) on the rears (165 CA). If you are wanting to use the 450/4 on just the 130 KP, then you would have to ditch the crossovers that came with the 130 KP and wire the midbass's straight to channels 1/2 on the amp and tweeters straight to 3/4, and use the amps crossovers. I wouldn't do this unless you know what you are doing, setting the crossover points incorrectly can damage your speakers (especially the tweeters, cross them over to low and you might blow them). You would also want to be careful with that much power on a set of speakers that may not be able to handle the power. [/QUOTE]
