Need Help with Install

[McGruff]

I have an old school Rockford Fosgate 800.4 that I want to install with 2 12" subs (DVC 4ohms), 2 6.5 mids (4ohms), and 2 4x6 plates (4ohms). I have no idea as to the best way to run them on my amp. Any helpful ideas would be great.

I do not think you can

I would suggest getting another amp to run the subs.

Those 2 - 4 ohm DVC's would present a 1 ohm load on that amp

or you could run the front speakers off the front 2 channels

run the subs in stereo (1 per rear channel at 2 ohms each)\

And run the rear speakers from the deck.

Horrible idea, just get another amplifier.

OP - you have a fine plan, this will work great on that amp. ignore the previous responses.

a pair of 4 ohm DVC subs can be wired for 4 ohm mono. wire them like that on Channels 3&4.

wire the other speakers in parallel for a 2 ohm stereo load. the amp is fine with that.

you will want some bass blockers on the 4x6 (around 300Hz).
