    Alright another question ive got a new option on the speaker amps, i can do one of 3 things. I can pick up the two PA660's like i wanted for 105 bucks each plus tax (i was hoping to get them cheaper) and get 75 watts rms per channel which is good, i can pick up 2 PA330's for 48 bucks each plus tax, run them at 2 ohms and get 50 watts per channel, or i can get 4 of the PA 330's though i think the internals of the 660 is basically just two 330's. I know 4 330's or 2 660's would give the best sound editing results but is it worth it?

    1. I love the price of the 2 PA330's since im building this on a budget and im trying to keep it in my price range. However im not sure how ide go about wiring up 4 speakers to a 2 channel if i do wind up going that route since ive only wired up subs or stock speaker wiring before this. From what i know it would be the power line to the first crossover, then a wire from the ground to the power on the next crossover, then a wire from that crossover tp the ground on the amp, then run the speaker and tweeter wires from the crossovers, correct? or is that wrong.... Then the amps apparently are CEA compliant and i know there is only a set amount of distortion allowed to be compliant amps at certain ohm settings, would running them at 2 ohms dramatically affect the sound?

    2. Is it okay to run 2 sets of different speakers like a pair of 6x9's and a pair of 4's, or a pair of 6.5 components and a pair of 5.25 components, on a 2 channel amp? Both speakers have different wattage settings, i think it will be fine but i dont know it all obviously, and im afraid it might be like wiring two batteries in parallel, do it wrong and you fry the battery, or in my case on my track rc car you set the battery on fire.

    3. These speakers are rated at much higher wattage than 50 watts, i know under-powering sub-woofers can cause their coils to be damaged from distortion, that part ive seen first hand, but im not sure how that will affect the speakers lifetime.
