Ok, I finally broke down and started on getting my system together, I have a few questions though. I got a 4 channel 400W amp to power the interior speakers, but here is my question. I also got 4 tweeters along with deck and door speakers, I seen in the manual that I could do a 6 speaker setup with the 4 channel amp, but could I hook up the tweeters as well with the amp? IE running the tweeters, door, and rear deck speakers off the 4 channel amp? One other question, I also got 2 10's with a RMS of 450W each, I also got a mono block amp for these subs, but the amp is 1200W. I know the amp is 2 ohm stable, but the subs are single voice coil 4 ohm. I know they could be bridged or wired off the single outputs but would that cause either the amp to go or the subs to blow? If anyone could help with ways to set up this system please let me know. Enlighten me please! Can I set this up without have problems?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you could set it up..You say the amp is 1200W? is that rms or max...if it's max the rms would be like what? 700? then you would have no problem running the 2 subs in parrallel for a 2 ohm load to the amp, and if that 1200w rating is the rms, then you could always just turn the amp down a bit if you're worried about blowing the subs. As for the speakers/tweeters...I really have no idea about that, because if your amp is 2 ohm stable and ur speaker/tweeters are 4 ohm, if you ran them in parrallel im thinkin that your tweeters will recieve too low of notes and blow up, because tweeters are meant to play high frequencies...im not sure tho, but there might be a in line HPF you could use, ive seen something like that before, but im not sure exactly how it works, but you could maybe check into that, and im sure someone on here will be able to help you further

you want to bump, then they will bump and hit real hard and a lot good.

I'm not really understanding your setup with your highs/ tweets, but about your subs:
You want to hook up the subs in series to give you 2 ohms seen by the amp. That will give you the most power out of the amplifier. It would give you a 900 watt sub (basically) and a 1200 watt amp. That's a pretty good ratio, maybe a little too much amp, but without brand names and models, it's kinda hard to say,.
sorry for not clarifying much, everything is audiobahn. Here are the model numbers etc.
1200W Audiobahn A12005DN mono block amp for the 2 aw101T 10 inch Subs 650W RMS
400W Audiobahn A4004V 4 channel amp for these speakers:
acs2046N 4X6 door speakers, AS69V 6X9 rear deck speakers, and 2 sets of AT67 Tweeters for the front and rear highs. Hope this helps with the questions, not really sure is the 1200 is the max of the amp.

well on audiobahns site it said that that amp was 600x1@2 ohms...so thats prolly ur rms right there, and that could easily be handled by a pair of 450watt rms subs

thanks, that answered the question on the subs, any ideas on the other amp and speakers? I would like to just use that amp and not have to try to find another 2 or 4 channel just to run the tweeters if I don't have to. I was thinking it might be possible to run the tweeters off 1 channel, same with the 4X6's and 6X9's, I also know that the tweeters, and the 4X6 comes with crossovers, just the 6X9's don't. So they would control the ranges and filter out the lower frequencies. I would just be concerned with the ohms with those setups.The way I think might work is this. ch 1 - tweeter set 1, ch 2 - tweeter set 2, ch -3 4X6 set, ch - 4 6X9 set. The amp is 2 ohm stable so I believe that would work, if I am wrong let me know.

if the tweets and front components are 4 ohm and the 400w amp is 2 ohm stable, run 1 tweet in parallel with 1 component for each side.
