Can I run 2ohm and 4ohm speakers off the same amp?

Im looking to get infinity speakers throughout my car. I want to buy the infinity perfect 6.1 components for the front and infinity kappa 6x8 for the rear deck. Here is the problem, the infinity components are 4 ohm and the kappa 6x8s are 2 ohm. Could I run both of them off of a 4 channel amp?

As long as it is stable at the load, yes...

ok, Could somebody suggest a good amp for doing the job? Im thinking it will be hard to find one since they are both rated at around 100W RMS.

Budget? It will be hard to get a solid front stage with potentially more power going to the rear. Pretty much any amp will do. Don't get the idea that you have to run RMS rated power to a speaker. That is merely a maximum thermal limit. Most don't require even 25% of rated power to get more than loud enough
