[QUOTE="Sulleigh, post: 4671849, member: 585345"] I've got some kenwood coaxials(they're meh, but w/e they were cheapish) 3-ways rated at 2-28 rms with a 150w max. I'm running them on a PPI A404 amp that does 50x4 at 4ohms, 100x4 at 2ohms, and 200x2 at 4ohm bridged. I've already blown one set of speakers with this amp(although the back kenwood 4" speaker rated at 100w max have been fine and I ran them alone when the fronts were blown). I'm just wondering if I'm giving these speakers too much power. I had the amp installed professionally so I have no idea how it's wired(although right now I have it in 2channel, only powering the front). How do I check and see? would a dmm do that? and should I keep it in 4channel just to be safe, I like the added output of 2channel but I don't want to hurt the speakers. Thanks [/QUOTE]
