Will This Amp Work For My Setup?

[Hulk311 10+ year member]

I already own RAINBOW CS 265 PROFI VANADIUMs and an ARC AUDIO FD4150 to power it. The arc is a 4 channel amp. Is there anyway I can use it to power both speakers AND a sub while providing enough power to the Rainbows?

The Rainbows are rated at:

• Peak Power: 180 Watt
  
• Power Rating: 120 Watt
  
• Minimal amplifier power: 75 Watt
  
• Sensitivity: 90 db 1W/1m
  
• Impedance: 4 Ohm
  

The amp is rated at:

• 80 Watts x4 @4 ohms
  
• 160 Watts x4 @2 ohms
  
• 320 Watts x2 @4 ohms bridged
  
• Transient distortion:

The IDQ 8" sub is rated at:

2 Ohm Impedance: 1/4 Ohms

• Power Handling 150W RMS/300W MAX
  
• Power: 50-350W RMS
  

The IDQ 8" sub is rated at:

4 Ohm Subwoofer Impedance: 2/8 Ohms

• Power Handling 150W RMS/300W MAX
  
• Power: 50-350W RMS
  

Is there anyway to have it power the speakers and one of the ID subs (if so which one, the 2 or 4 ohm one?)

What would be the breakdown of how many watts the sub and speakers receive? I do not want the speakers to be underpowered.

get the dual 2 ohm sub wire it at 4 ohms and bridge the rear channels on the amp

Thanks, but with this method how many watts will be sent to the Rainbow speakers?

what impedance are they? look at your amp specs.
