Setting up gain question JL Audio

hi its me again just had another question i have alot of clipping from my JL audio component set and my JL audio amp goes into protect mode, I have taken it to wet audio and they didnt seem to fix it so i am trying to do this my self, so i know i need to use a multimeter with ac voltage i just had a few questions first, I have a JL Aduio JX360/4: 4 Ch. Class A/B Full-Range Amplifier

says power ratting is :

RMS) Power @ 14.4 V
@ 4 Ω 70 W RMS x 4
@ 2 Ω 90 W RMS x 4
Bridged @ 4Ω 180 W RMS x 2

and

RMS) Power @ 12.5 V
@ 4 Ω 55 W RMS x 4
@ 2 Ω 80 W RMS x 4
Bridged @ 4Ω 160 W RMS x 2

the power volts is your car battery right, so next i have my JL audio component set and 6x9 to this amp the front are hooked to channel 1&2 and 6x9 to 3&4,

Jl audio C2-650 2-Way Component Speaker System
Continuous Power Handling (RMS) 60 W
Peak Music Power 225 W
Recommended RMS Amplifier Power (per Ch.) 15 - 100 W
System Efficiency 91.0 dB @ 1 W / 1 m
System Nominal Impedance 4 Ω

and Jl audio TR690-TXi: 6 x 9-inch 3-Way Coaxial Speaker System
Continuous Power Handling (RMS) 60 W
Peak Music Power 225 W
Recommended RMS Amplifier Power (per Ch.) 10 - 100 W
System Efficiency 90.5 dB @ 1 W / 1 m
System Nominal Impedance 4 Ω


now both of them says System Nominal Impedance 4 Ω so does that mean i am only getting @ 4 Ω 55 W RMS x 4 that dont seem like alot, ?

one last thing is that is the case in the Jl Audio Amplifier Target Output Voltages says for

JX Amplifiers Voltage Chart

4Ω(or higher) 16.7 V
3Ω 15.5
2Ω 13.4


So do i want the 16.7 knowing the speakers are 4Ω hooked up to channel 1&2

Thanks alot i know its alot but trying to do this my self sense i cant get an audio shop to do it right thanks again

depnding on the volatege, 55 or 70 watts per channel. it shouldnt be going into protect unless there is another problem.
