How do I waire this up correctly??
I have a JVC KD R 720 head deck, 4 Polk Audio MM 521 speakers and an Arc 125.2 mini amp 2 channel all running in a motorcycle fairing. The nominal impedance of the speakers is 2.7 ohms and the Arc amp is stable at 2 ohms. I do not know the best or correct way to wire this up to give me the best performance and sound quality. I have heard if I wire it up incorrectly that the amp could burn up the out put. Please help as I have no idea how to do this at all. Series, paralle, or series paralle is what I have heard people talking about. I do not understand.The polks are Coaxial but due have a cross over. Also my wife has the same stuff just with 1 set of Polk MM 521 and 1 set of Energy Coaxial that are 4ohms and 80 watts rms.Attached is a picture of what it looks like.1.
The following is what 1 person suggested I do does anyone agree with this or should it be done in parallel? and also suggested I get the Massive Audio NX2 amp for my wife.
did you know that those amps will power the speakers in stereo, so 2 of your left speakers will be powered from left channel and 2 of your right speakers will be powered from your right channels. I'm asking not because there's anything wrong with that, considering its a bike, you don't need rear fill like in cars, I'm just informing you about the setup. additionally you need to wire the speakers in series if you want to power all 4 spk from the amp. that's because your spkrs are 2.7 ohms, and if you wire it in parallel you will go below the amp's lower impedance limit.

Running the two sets of speakers in parallel will put too much strain on your amp. I would just run the one set.
