I'm curious if I would be able to do this I have Infinity's in my setup (check sig) Can I wire these for 2 ohm's if so how would I do this.

just to be clear you wann know how to run your components and 6x9's at 2 ohms .......

you can't change the speakers impedance from 4 ohms but if you wann run all 4 speakers off a 2channel amp with one component set and one 6x9 wired up to each channel in paralell the amp will see a 2 ohm load

AHHHH!!! this is a new one on me!! So I can take a 2 channel amp thats stable at 2 ohm's and run all 4 speakers to it. Can you give examples of the wiring config. I guess it will take the power of said channel and efectivly cut the power in half? (half to each speaker on each channel)

one more thing to add if an amp is rated at 50 x 2 rms @ 4 ohms and 100 x 2 rms @ 2 ohms will the amp give the later to the speaks????

^ Take both left speaker + wires and putthem in the left + terminal of the amp. Then take both -wires and hook them to the left - terminal of the amp. Repeat for the right side.

The amp would deliver 100x2 so each speaker would theoretically get 50 watts.
