[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 5259289, member: 587873"] So your only running a pair of 6x9's right now, thats 220 watts to each one. I've never seen a pair of 2 ohm 6.5"s before, not saying they don't exist, just never seen them. When you wire them up later on you shouldn't be wiring the 2 ohm speakers and the 4 ohm speakers on the same channel. Take advantage of the 4 channels and do it right. Keep the 2 ohm speakers running off the front channels and the 6x9's running off the rear channels on the amp. The 2 ohm speakers have a lower resistance and they are going to use a lot more power than the 4 ohm 6x9's, it's not going to "even" the power like you think. The levels that you mentioned that say 2v, those are the gains. Every amp has a gain setting. And it sounds like you need to turn them down too, you shouldn't hear any distortion when you crank it up, unless your gains are set too high. Doing the math on wire like that doesn't matter, you use a bigger gauge wire for less resistance and an easier flow of power to the amp. Your problems look like a combination of bad ground wires and improper gain settings. [/QUOTE]
