    Hey gp heads. I have an eclipse xa4200 4 channel amp (100w rms per channel), alpine type s 5 1/4 coaxials in the front, some cheap pioneer 6x9 in the back. My amp says that it can go up to 200w rms x 4 in 2 ohms. I was wondering how can i accomplish that. Im not dumb when it comes to car audio but the wiring gets me confused some times smh. Also, whats wrong with having 6x9s in your car? Should i get coaxials in the back as well? Im thinking if i do that, i will have to remove the stock covering in the back...which i dont wanna do. Anyways, much help is needed...thanks

    6x9s are typically coaxial too. If it has a tweeter separate from the cone, then its a component speaker. If your 6x9s are 4ohm then just connect both +'s and -'s to the + and - on the same channel of the amp (or bridge them). Tada running 2ohms

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.
