Kicker KS speakers and Kicker 350.4

[Falloutkid90 10+ year member]

I have a pair of kicker ks 6.5 speakers rated at either 60 or 65 rms each and a pair of kicker ks 6x9 speakers rated at 100 rms each. All the speakers are 4 ohms. I have a kicker zx350.4 amp to power them but I havent hooked it up yet (waiting for the weather to get nicer). My question is how should I make them work with the amp? I know the 6.5s are matched perfectly with the amp (60x4 rms) The specs say Bridged, 4 ohms: 175 watts x 2 chan. Does that mean I can just take the two 6.5 and run one each to each channel. Then just bridge the 6x9s on the other two channels so that each will get 87.5rms each and they will still be running at 4 ohms?

Run them all the same. I'm guessing the 6x9s are in the back? you dont want them overpowering the fronts, you really dont need them at all

Yes the 6.5s are the front door speakers and and the 6x9s are in the rear deck. Could I blow the 6x9s running them at 60w even though their rated at 100w underpowering them?

No. What do you think happens when you don't run your volume at full? They are not getting full power.
