hey guys i am faced with a trying question.

here is what is going on. i jsut got a piar of component speakers which want 150 rms at 4ohm. i jsut also purchased a 100.4 amp which will not give 150 rms at 4ohm unless i bridge the amp just to get the extra 50rms and loose a channel.

but if i loose one channel i will not be able to hook both my component speakers up and my rear speakers also 100rms.

so what should i do? would you bridge the channel and lose your rear speakers just for an extra 50rms? my question is will i feel the 50rms? if so like how mcuh just a little or a lot. also my next question is i also have a orion 400.2 which is currently running rear speakers. so i guess i could keep both my amps?

dude, just run them with less watts, it will be fine as long as you set them right. they don't have to have the rms...

Throw the power to your nice components and see if you even need an amp for the rear fill. If so, take the Orion and put it on the rears. My thought is that the rear fill speakers will do their job off the head unit.

run the sundown @ 320wrms x2 bridged and put the rear on the hu power

you can turn the gain down to whatever wattage you are trying to output
