Would I be able to use that amp DS1200 to wire four PRV speakers (shown in picture above) along with those two DS18 tweeters ?

You’re running the midbass in parallel at 2 ohms per channel I’m assuming? The impedance will work. That amp is pushing 300 rms per channel?

thank you for your reply most definitely appreciate it, would it be easier to just get a smaller amp for the tweeters alone ?? if so any you may recommend? not sure how i would wire the current set up shown above, if i run two of the mid bass parallel at 2 ohms front and rear would it leave me room to hook up the tweeters ?

So if your headunit runs active you can theoretically use y splitters on the headunit’s mid Rca channel (assuming you’re going to set your crossover/eq the same for all four of those 6.5’s.) Then just grab a smaller amp for the tweeters. Disregard any of that if your plan is to use a dsp.

However, if you want to run all six speakers on one amp you may want to consider using these instead for that kind of power

Two wired parallel to 2 ohms are rated at 250 watts rms so at 300 rated per channel on the amp you’ll have a little extra. Those speakers models you inquired on call for 500 per side in the same wiring configuration brought down to 2 ohms and your amp will only be putting out 300 (per channel)

those tweeters call for right about what that amp is rated (192 per channel) at 4ohms since those are 4 ohm tweeters

You guys are awesome thank you for the help, below is everything I have so far for the setup ...I ran the conductor wire already for the speakers also the main rca from radio to crossover .. I could leave those speakers running off that amp alone and connect the two tweeters to this amp

also .. still haven’t haven’t gotten it but buying a relay for the remote turn on and and three additional RCA’s for the crossover. After install I’m going to look for someone around me that could professionally tune everything up for me and set the gains etc.

You’ll still need y splitters from crossover to amp for the prv’s. However that clarion doesnt appear to have an lpf, just a high pass. Someone else might know if that ts400 has an adjustable lpf on the amp. If not, going to have challenges achieving correct crossover on the tweeter.
