gr33nw00d's first audio setup, question

[gr33nw00d]

Hello, first of all, I have searched alot but need to clarify. Thanks in advance to anyone who spends time helping me out.

I am installing the following into my 92 acura legend sedan.

deck; alpine cda-9830

sub : eD 11Kv.2 Subwoofer (10 inch)

http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=30

amp: eD NINe.4

http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=46

front component speakers: eD eDi 6000s v.2 System

http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=49

What I need help with is how I should wire my amp to my front speakers and my sub.

power ratings:

sub - 300/600 WRms ( Dual 2 or Dual 4 Voice Coils)

speakers - 65/150 (4 ohms final impedence)

amp - RMS Power @ 12.5v : 4 x 65 @ 4 Ohm, 4x 100 @ 2 Ohm

RMS Power (Bridged) @ 12.5v : 2 x 150 @ 4 Ohm

1st, if the amp has 4 channels, is it ok to have a different impedence (ohms) on each channel and therefore a different watt output for each channel, ie. 3x 65 @ 4 Ohm and 1x 100 @ 2 Ohm? Or, do they all have to be the same, ie. all 4x 100 @ 2 Ohm or all 4 x 65 @ 4 Ohm

My guess would be that I wire both my front speakers in parallel, which should bring them down to 2 ohms, then i send them a single 100w channel from the amp @ 2 ohms.

For the sub I will order the 4 ohm version and wire it in parallel as well so its down to 2 ohms, now, can I send it 3 channels @ 100w? or all of the remaining wattage (300w?)?

Can you send more than 1 channel to a single speaker?

And finally, would it be right to buy the 4ohm sub or the 2 ohm sub?

Thank you guys soo much for ur help. Can;t wait to get this system bumping.

if you are set with that equipment.

you would run the front comps just normal + - to the first two channels. Then bridge the rear to a dual 2 ohm sub wired up to a 4ohm load.

so you would put out 65 to each comp in front and 150 to your sub.

you cant wire 3 channels into 1 sub.

or..

you could run this amp http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14928

get 75 watts on each comp and 300 watts on your sub if you wired it the same way i just said. for the same price.
