I recently purchased a set of Eclipse SC6900's (4ohm)on the advice of a friend. I am installing them in my 4 door Tacoma along with a set of Polk 6.5's(2ohm). I was hoping someone could help a beginner like me make the right choice for an amp? thx. LINK

If i bought a 2 ohm amp, how do i wire the front 4 ohm speakers and the rear 2 ohm speakers to the same amp? Oh, and the front speakers have a crossover too?

thx, LINK

You'll need a 4-channel amp that is 2-ohm stereo stable. You wire one speaker to each channel (or one set of speakers with its crossover to each channel.) And then you set the gains properly.
