I have a question. When wiring a 6" mid/woofer and tweeter (both at 4 ohms each) through the provided crossover, does the amp see 4 ohms or 2 ohms? Thank you for your help.

Blowntweeter, thank you. Now, can you please explain why? Lasly, if I run another speaker such as 5 1/4" with the 6" and tweeter; can I run all 3 on the same crossover? ie. crossover input from amp then the output side of the crossover to both 5 1/4" and 6" then the tweeter output to the tweeter. Could I wire these so the amp sees 2ohms? Or would I need to use another crossover for the 5 1/4" woofer. I was trying to get away from adding the 2nd pair of tweeters; in other words each door would have a 6" and 5 1/4" and tweeter.

you don't have to. use the second crossover or tweeter .but i would not recommend running the to woofers on the same crossover. please list all the equipment you will be installing. also 4 ohms will give much better SQ .
