How do I wire rainbow germs 465.25

[pcoastsurf 10+ year member]

I recently purchased rainbow germs 265.25 and love them . But I'm never satisfied and just added the germs 165's .So now I have the 465.25's.

My question is what would be the best way to wire them with a Eclipse XA4000

125 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (175 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

350 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms.

THE 465.25 set up is 2 ohms ,so would I be able to bridge them?? or what would be my other options?

Thanks

The XA4000 is a great amp but it will not run at 2 ohms bridged. Are you going to run the Germs active? If not, how does the crossover handle the woofers in parallel and the tweeter? If it shows 2 ohms with both woofers and the tweeter, then you'd have to run them all off of two channels of the XA4000. Another option might be to run the 265's off of two channels and the 165's off of the other two active and use the XA4000 low pass crossover to match them to the 265's.

Good luck
