I recently was given a power acoustic lt-series amp. which is model#lt9802 which is rated at 2x220@4ohms and 2x280@2ohms.i also recieved three power acoustic subs model fbx10 which are dual 4ohm voice coils. rated at 600rms and 1200 peak. my question is will the amp supply enough power for all three and what is the best way to wire them for best sound reproduction.this is all in an extended cab s-10 any info would be appreciated. by the way i recieved all of this from my friend and all is still in boxes.

Just use two and keep the third for a backup. Going by your info, wire them at 2 ohms each---POS to POS and NEG to NEG on each speaker (parallel). Get info from the manufacturer for the proper size enclosure for each one. Connect one to each channel of the amp for a 2 ohm stereo load.

Nice friend,huh?
