I have the following equipment that came out of a SC P/U That I'm putting in a 30' motorhome. I've done a good job of confusing myself. I have: 1ea directed 6ooD amp 275w rms 4ohm,400w rms 2ohm
2ea MTX thunder 152 37.5w 2ohm, 150w 4ohm, 150w bridged 4ohm
2ea MB quart qm160q 4ohm 90-170w speakers
2ea MB quart rcc116 4ohm 60-130w speakers
3ea Eclipse 8708.8 8ohm subs in enclosure
2 amps pwr sub or speakers?
Best way to wire?
I have the pwr wiring fuse & grounds & am clear on that.

Thunder 152 is 37.5 per channel into 4 ohm. 75 per into 2 ohm and or 150 bridged into 4 ohm.
Parallel the 3 eclipse drivers on the Directed for a 2.66 ohm load.
Connect 1 152 to 1 pair of speakers and connect the other 152 to the other pair of speakers.

Does not matter, but just to make it easier to keep up with I would put 1 front and one rear. Left channel of each amp will be connected to a left speaker. Same with right channel. But other than that it really makes no difference.

Thank you for your help! Now 1 more question(for now!): I'm limited as to where to mount the amps & they may end up close to the head unit. If so is there any way to isolate them if there is "noise" from them being close?

There will be no noise issues associated with them being close to the deck.
