4 Channel Amp / 2 Ohm + 4 Ohm Speakers?
Looking at swapping out my Eclsipe 6x9's in the rear for some Infinity Kappa 693.7i's since they're a lil blown. However, I wasn't sure if the impedence was going to be a problem.
My current fronts & rears are 4 Ohms, the Kappa's are 2 Ohms. Will my amp have any issues with different impedence on the front and on the rear? (4 Ohms on front, 2 Ohms on the rear...)
Another way of phrasing my question I guess, is, if I would the Inifinity's recieve 2x100W RMS (@2 Ohms) and my fronts still get 2x50W RMS (@4 Ohms)?? Or -- should I look into replacing my fronts while I'm at it with something that can handle 2x100W RMS (@2 Ohms) too?
Current Specs:
Orion 4004
---- 50x4 @ 4 Ohm Stereo
---- 100x4 @ 2 Ohm Stereo
2 x Eclipse SE8363 6.5's [Front]
---- 40W RMS / 70W Max
2 x Eclipse SE8493 6x9's [Rear]
---- 75W RMS / 150W Max
^^^^
Possibly Changing To: 2 x Infinity Kappa 693.7i's [Rear]
---- 110W RMS / 330W Peak
