Im gonna take a wild guess and assume that your subs are single voice coils. I would take the 800w amp and run that to the subs in 2-channel mode which will give you 200w to each sub at 4 ohms. About the components, you could either run them off the HU or off your 760w amp. If you run them off the amp (preferred) your speakers will see 150w rms each.

Originally posted by Jmac Yup, you gotta be delicate with those Sony amps. First thing I'd advise is to not push it into clipping. Secondly is to make sure it's secure to the floor of your trunk. Don't mount it to the box because it will shake loose and possibly cause shorts. What I do is I cut a piece of rubber foam the size of my amp and put it under the amp, then bolt the amp to the floor of my trunk. Either that, or glue a piece of MDF to the bottom of your car and screw the amp into that.

 

As for wiring, I don't know if you should put 150 RMS to components ... Especially Audiobahn components (Never heard Audiobahn speakers, I'm just saying that, based on their subs, they probably won't sound very good.) I'd run the components off the 4-channel for

 

You could do that too, I was just going off the RMS power...

 

I dread the day I hear audiobahn components...

whata bout the second set of components or the infinity speakers? what should i wire them to? just so you know, i am prolly getting rid of the audiobahn components and getting focal components.

In that case just run your subs like JMac said and use the 800w amp in 4 channel mode to power all your speakers.

I just have to add that you will be highly impressed with the focals after listening to the audiobahns... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
