possibly a pair of re xxx compnents per door. or 2 sets or another 2 ohm stable speaker...

Have fun blowing that 4 channel.

or you could just wire them series to 4ohms for compatibility with most amps.

Anyway, to the OP........can you give an example or brand/model amp you are looking for? I ask because i've never seen one that i can remember ATM.

it's for a local buddy. i didnt get too deep into the specifics but it's something to the effect of 16 mids and highs. he insists it all comes down to 1 ohm per ch. ill double check what he has and make sure it's what he thinks it is....or even better reconfigure it to a better ohm load.

soundstream rubicon old school amps are 1ohm stereo stable, my rubicon 604 says so in the manual. There are always a few on ebay

Yeah I was just thinking that... the only 1ohm stable 4 channels that I know of (I'm sure there are others out there) are old school amps (preferably all old SS) lol

the rockford power series amps with the fans (and huge heatsinks) are 1ohm stereo stable too

What he probably has if its 16 total, is 4 units with a 4ohm impedance(each) wired in parallel to 1ohm, and x that by 4, Instead of doing that you might want to think about getting (2) 4channel amps instead of just 1 big one.. mostly because the amp willl be running quite hot because of that 1 ohm load.

Here's an example. bridge each amp... Ill use an example of a SS Rub4.600, it does 300 x2 at 4ohm bridged. Series/ Parellel 4 speakers per channel and youll get 4 ohms. So youll have 8 drivers on each amp...

Just a suggestion

i think the sundown sax 200.4 is 1 ohm stable

sadly those aren't even out yet... and they are HUGE!!!

i got a ph.gold xs 4600 that is 1 ohm stable..

 

[RAM_Designs 5,000+ posts]

Interesting, I never knew the XS line was 1ohm stable...does it actually say so in the manual, or is it just common knowledge that they can handle it?

I personally think the OP should just wire each set of 4 speakers to 4ohms and run a couple of 4 channels bridged at 4ohms...it'd make amp selection a lot easier.
