I have an older Rockford 160x4, this one:

Right now I am running my four coaxials off the front two channels at 8 ohm stereo. I am running the third channel to my RE8 (2 ohms). I was thinking of adding on 2 more of the RE8's, is it okay for the amp if I run them in series for a 4 ohm load, and run them off the fourth channel, while the third still runs at 2 ohms to the one I have up front, or is that tough on the amp? If so I will maybe get a fourth, and run 2 per channel for 4 ohm stereo. Any help is appreciated. [img]graemlins/@bow.gif[/img]

Run the fronts 2 ohm stereo, and the rear 6 ohms bridged, that amp can do it all day long...series the rears then bridge the amp.

I had the fronts at 2 ohm stereo, they are so loud, I have lots of high end and the amp was heating up, probably cause I had the back half bridged to the single 2 ohm sub also. I am going to leave the fronts alone, they are plenty clean enough. You figure 6 ohms bridged will make enough power eh? Those little subs don't need much to get loud.
