[QUOTE="honkyg^2, post: 8683400, member: 675064"] as far as i know, all 4 channel amps have at least two gain adjustment potentiometers. one for channels 1/2, and one for channels 3/4,.. some have separate gain adjustment for each channel, but usually by more clarity-oriented manufacturers from yesteryear and higher end products of today, although, im sure some budget amps of today have dedicated gains for each channel. i myself have old school hafler and a/d/s/ amplifiers with independent channel gains, for example. the barbara ann would be fine for your setup when using the 6.5's in a normal signal chain configuration, and you could also opt use ch. 1 and 2 for left, and 3/4 for right to reduce cross-talk if you choose to do so, provided you have an external crossover to adjust the frequency range of each driver pair before amplification with the amplifier's onboard crossovers set to full or off. if you decide to go with the 8" drivers, you'll probably want (not necessarily need) an amplifier capable of producing the highest rms power rating of the preferred component drivers to be used and configured to a standard signal chain arrangement with your tweeter bank gain dialed down to their rms rating. using amplifiers with much lower ratings than the drivers they supply may leave something left to be desired in response. as for the speed rings, cutting them around the crash bar will nullify their intended use, so it would be my advice to modify the baffle and door card to get them to fit unmolested.
