Hello,
I want to wire up 4 of my speakers:( 2 ) 6 1/2 inch components + ( 2 ) 6x9's full range speakers.
Is it possible to use my 2 ohm stable 2 channel 200X2 @ 2 ohms Amp?
If so, how would i wire them to get the most out of my amp..
Anyone's help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You COULD do this by wiring the left side speakers in parallel at the amp, and the rights in parallel at the amp. If you did this, you would lose all fader controls, though. What I would recommend doing is to use the amp to power the front components and run the rear speakers off the deck power for now. Then when you can afford it- upgrade to a 4 channel amp and bridge the 2 channel to power a sub.

Yep this is the best thing for you to do.

Never plan speaker wiring with this goal in mind. Subs, maybe...but not the speakers that will play the critical mids and highs that comprise the other 75% of the sound. You want the amplifier to perform at its BEST, not at its LIMITS, at all frequencies above the subwoofer range because the music will sound better.
DYohn did a nice informative write-up on speakers and frequencies in relation to how we hear in this past thread: Topic: Frequency Cutup

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
Well, if i were to wire them up that way, would it be over working the amp? My amp is a audiobahn a4002t.
And I already got another amp for my subs so i dont want to use that one for my sub and get a 4 channel.
Should i just get another 2 channel amp for my 6x9s?
16 guage wire would be fine to wire up these speakers right?
Your help is appreciated =D

if you have a 2ch amp, use it for the front speakers, and an amp for the sub and just run the back speakers off the deck. if you install 3 amps, you'll need distro blocks, probably a new alternator, and all kinds of other stuff. if i had that stuff sitting around- amp front speakers, amp sub(s) and run back speakers off the head unit. and if you mean 16 gauge from the amp to the speaker, yes, that should be fine. hope this helps.
if your running amps and arent familiar with propperly setting gain controls, i highly recomend doing a search here on The12 as there is all kinds of usefull info on gains and how they differ from "volume controls".
