[QUOTE="Jaredl, post: 1716775, member: 566462"] The Alpine doesn't "need" 4 ohms. On the contrary, running at a high ohm load lowers distortion (though a good amp won't have audible distortion at rated impedance) and makes the amp run cooler (and usually live longer). I wouldn't hesitate to run that to the 8 ohm Peerless mids. The Dayton mids come in 4 ohms, if you really want to get more power out of your amp (though the benefits are negligible and it is sometimes better to run higher impedance drivers). I would find a nice 2 channel amp with low power as stated before for tweeters. Did you look into the drivers I listed? If you want to keep it simple and cheap, I will list a nice setup.
