I'm looking to install component speakers in some Q-Logic kick panels in my '98 Honda Accord. I'm also looking to put a pair of 6.5s in the door (the tweeter is removable, and I'm planning on just using the woofer). I have a 4-channel amp that is 75x4 with variable crossovers.
Should I wire the front speakers (components and woofers) for 2-Ohm to get the full power?
What about crossover settings, extra hardware, etc...? Am I asking for trouble having components and woofers on the same channels?
Thanks

What kind of amp is it?

Audiobahn A6004T. I know Audiobahn isn't a favorite here. One day I'll "upgrade" - I promise!

No, I don't think you should. 4 ohm is the way to go with your music speakers, and 75 watts is LOUD, per speaker. Keep your components on two channels and the door speakers on the other two.

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

Ok, so leave the back speakers (Memphis Audio 6x9s) on deck power? My HU has the ability to turn off internal amplification - I was going to do this so the only power and would be coming from the amp.
One of the main reasons I was doing this was to avoid fabricating something to mount the 6.5 split to the door. (and also drilling a hole in the door to mount the tweeter) The speaker is too deep to sit flush in the door without impeding the front windows.
Maybe I'll make a ring out of MDF for the door and power the doors and 6x9s.
Opinions?
