front and rear channels different impedance ok?

[ItalynStylion 10+ year member]

I'm going to be running a PPI 600/4 but the two sets of speakers ill be running have a different impedance.

The front stage i have run at 4ohms but im keeping the stock rear 6x9's that run at 2ohms from the factory. My question is can i run the 4 ohm(Focal 165V1's) off the front two channels and run the stock 6x9's off the rear two channels (with the gains all the way down)

Would this be safe for the amp? I know it might blow the stock speakers but i dont care about those since they are just temporary.

Yes, you can run different channels @ different loads

Also, this would change the output of the amp to the rear channels from 75rms to 150rms right? If i had the gain ALL the way down what are my chances of blowing the stock 6x9's? I know they are amped from the factory but i have no idea what they are getting power wise...

As long as you set your gains right, then you will be fine.

Use a combination of gain and fader to turn them way down.
