[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7369935, member: 576029"] just wire it in four channel mode. don't worry about the RMS ratings - what you have is fine and compatible. you can't wire it for 2 ohms without losing your fader - which is a bad move given you want more sound in front than rear. 80W is fine and won't hurt your speakers. you can't hurt anything with less power than the speakers are rated for. you have misunderstood what you've read, or you've read people saying too little power can blow speakers - which is a fallacy. no speaker in the history of speakers has been damaged from too little power. when you turn the volume down - you have very little power (a few watts) and that's just fine. most mass-produced speakers don't like being ran at their rated power level for extended periods of time and speakers don't like clipped signals. clipping is where you get in trouble and with a small amp people tend to try to overdrive the amp, causing clipping, which can damage speakers. in short, your amp selection is perfect for your speakers at 4 ohms.
