[QUOTE="Abyssul, post: 6930874, member: 619248"] Alright, heres a little background. Currently I have a Boss Chaos Extreme 5 Channel 1800 amp which is hooked up to a Pioneer CVR 10" dual voice kicker in a sealed box and hooked up via RCA and a 2 Ohm load. For the first and second channel, I have two Pioneer 6x9's hooked up directly and input via high level inputs. The last two channels I plan to install [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000230LC2/?tag=caraudiocom-20"]Amazon.com: Power Acoustik NB-2 200-Watt 3-Way Tweeters: [/URL]. Now that you know the data, I need to ask some questions: - How should I wire the tweeters and 6.5" into the 3rd and 4th channel? Series, Parallel? Refer to manual for specs. - I used to have my subwoofer hooked up with a 8 ohm load, but changed it to 2 ohm. Now my amp gets pretty hot while in use. I've read the manual and it says that it accepts 2-8 ohm loads (page 16 of the manual) yet later in the manual it states something that I don't understand for Min. speaker impedance. (page 21) Here's the link for the manual: [URL="http://www.bossaudio.com/support/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=downloadfile&downloaditemid=584"]http://www.bossaudio.com/support/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=downloadfile&downloaditemid=584[/URL] Please help with this as I don't want to damage my subwoofer and amp with a improper ohm load.
