After doing a lot of research here is what I plan on buying:
Front stage: CDT CL-E61NEO - audio Classic Series 6.5" Slim Mount Component speakershttp://www.woofersetc.com/p-5831-cl-e61neo-cdt-audio-classic-series-65-slim-mount-component-speakers.html
Sub: Image Dynamics 8" ID8 V3 D2 - 2 Ohm Subwoofer ID8V.3-D2 - Image Dynamics ID 8" Subwoofer
Amplifier: Soundstream P4.800 Soundstream P4.800 Picasso Series 800W 4-Channel Amplifier
Soundstream P4.800 Picasso Series 800W 4-Channel Amplifier
The speakers are rated at 150 watt RMS @ 120Hz high pass and the sub is rated at Power Handling 150W RMS/300W MAX and the amplifier does:
4 ohms: 125 watts x 4 chan.
2 ohms: 200 watts x 4 chan.
4 ohm, Bridged: 400 watts x 2 chan.
Since the speakers are 4Ohms the amp will give them 125 watts per channel at 4 ohms. According to the amp specs above, the amp can give the sub either 200 watts at 2 ohms or bridged and provided 400 watts for two channels at 4 ohms? Which version of the ID8 should I purchase? 2 or 4 ohms?
I'm basically confused on how bridging the amp would work as far as how many watts it would provide for channels 3 and 4 and for which Ohm (2 or 4).
