[QUOTE="Mcdaddy7777, post: 8663656, member: 675750"] Hello, So I just got a new system installed. Here is what I'm using: [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777M754/Sound-Ordnance-M75-4.html"]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777M754/Sound-Ordnance-M75-4.html[/URL] Using this to power four speakers: [URL="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DH2XYSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DH2XYSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1[/URL] [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_091ISC130/Focal-Integration-ISC-130.html?cc=02"]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_091ISC130/Focal-Integration-ISC-130.html?cc=02[/URL] From what I have researched, it is ok to have a pair of 4 ohm speakers and a pair of 2 ohms speakers and that the ohms for all the speakers don't have to completely match. Using [URL="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BF6HYDE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BF6HYDE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1[/URL] to power 1 rockford fosgate p3d4-12 sub. I am using 0 gauge CCA wire which goes to a fused distribution block and then a 4 gauge OFC goes to the rockford amp and 8 gauge goes to the SO amp.
