[QUOTE="jaypanks, post: 1107321, member: 563040"] a few questions I'm slowly building a new system, here's what I have and am looking to use Kicker amps to power the system I have 4 6X8 sony xplod RMS rating 65 Watts @ 4 ohm A 6.5" DVC passive bass tube RMS 75 watt @ 4 ohm Pioneer 7700 head unit I want one 4 channel amp to power the speakers and one 2 channel amp to power the bass tube...do the 2 amps have to be wired together? If so, do most amps have this capability and what is it called so I can look for it? Can 4 ohm speakers be wired to a 2 ohm configuration, if so, how? Should I only go with amps that have equal or lower RMS ratings than the speakers to avoid blowing them or will a 250 watt max wattage speaker carry an amp's RMS rating of 175? [/QUOTE]
