is running 1 amp for 6.5" coax speakers (mids) and a separate amp for some tweeters a bad thing? im thinking of doing this to save money and reuse my old under rated MTX amp.

i was thinking of a ZX350.2 for 4 coax speakers and wiring them down to 2 ohm.

thoughts?

As long as you are using proper crossovers and not over-powering the tweeters, it's called bi-amping.
