[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8867960, member: 689267"] He'll be fine with any 4 ohm speakers, tuned properly. The focals are rated for 100 watts nominal and with the passive crossovers and power to the tweeters, 200x2 is overkill true but 65 x 4 to the 6.5s and the tweeters separately using the amp to actively cross everything is a waste of power considering the options. He should just [B]set the gains conservatively[/B] and run the comps bridged stereo. He is running a sub with a 1500 watt amp if I recall, so, crossing the fronts over using the pioneer HU crossover, say at 80-100 will allow the focals to handle upwards of 120 - 150 watts x2 therefore utilizing the output power of that Memphis amp. 65x4 isn't going to keep up with a sub getting even 1000 let alone 1500 watts. He can also time align L/R from the HU, It's all about balance. I would say one is more likely to try and make them play louder with a 4x65 options and damage things trying to get them to keep up rather than de-tuning the amp and playing them to their potential.
