Ok I currently have :

4 -6x9 sps-609 alpine type s

1-12" pioneer 600w

1 mrp m500

insigia 600w bridgeable

jensen 9312hd

The current 13w x 4 for the speakers is kinda gross sounding, the head unit has front and rear outputs, looking to power the speakers, i would like to power then, would it be possible to wire them in through the mrp m500? it is stable @ 2 ohms for 500w, the speakers are 75w rms, if i wired the speakers for 2 ohms to the amp would this work? 500/4 = 125w(chnl) and then just power the sub with the insignia amp thats what i currently have, or would the insignia amp work better? the insignia amp is the one that comes in combo with 2 subs, gottten given to me.

New to the forum, thanks in advance!

The Alpine mrp is a mono amp, so use it for your subwoofer.  It is of no use, by itself, for powering stereo.  I don't know anything but what you have stated about the Insignia, but you said it is bridgeable, which means it is a two channel amp.  Use it for the front stereo speakers (and if it happens to be a four channel, use it for all four speakers).

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

ya thats what i assumed, the inisigia one is 600 watts thats why i wanted to use for subs matching exactly,but i will prolly end up hooking insignia up to rear speakers and then mono for the sub.
