New 6.5 speakers, need amp

[KJThaDon 10+ year member]

I am going to get 2 PAIRS of these speakers

Amazon.com: Infinity Reference 6030cs 6.5-Inch 270-Watt Two-Way Component System: Car Electronics

I need an amp to match up with them for power. Since they're 2ohm each, would 4 of them be a 2 ohm load to each channel on a 4ch amp like the picture below?

Is this a good amp to go with them then?

SoundStorm F4.400 (f4400) 400W RMS, Force Series 4-Channel

Can someone give me some recommendations on a good amp to power these. Should I run new speaker wire to all doors, or just use the factory?

Thanks

soundstorm is junk ,and will most likely have ground loop noises , you need an amp that is 75 watts rms per channel x 4

Since you are already going with Infinitys I'd pick up a Kappa FOUR-Z and call it a day...

Sweet thanks ill check that one out tonight. What would be my ohm load if I have 4 of them, @2ohm each? 2 ohm? Only reason I picked that ssl is because it had good reviews and matched up well for the infintys. I would like to wire each speaker to its own channel on a 4 ch

If you run each speaker to it's own channel and they are single voice coil speakers, the impedance will never change... So if they are 2 ohm speakers, the amp will run at 2 ohms per channel... And don't be afraid to get a quality amp with a little bit more power, headroom is nice to have and it won't be an issue if you set the gains properly...
