this is what i have for drivers for my front stage

6.5"midbass-4 0hms

accuplanar ribbons-2 ohms

1"dome tweets-4 ohms

these are the recommended x-over frequencies 400hz down-midbass,400hz-10000hz-planars,10000hz

up tweets

what is the proper way to design this so my amp will see a stable load?

is it even possible?

amp can cleanly push 150 watts per into 4 ohms,300 per into 2.

any help greatly appreciated

HERE's a good place to start for your design (substituting your values, of course.) You'll have to attenuate the mid driver since it is a 2-ohm speaker, and 10K may be a bit too high for a useful tweeter X-point depending on your speaker placement and how you position the planer drivers. Those sound great but tend to have very narrow dispersion fields. You may want to drop the dome down into the 3-4K range... (Where did you get the "recomended" x-over frequencies?)
