How to run comps and coax?

[JusR 1]

Hi , guys I need help. O.K. I have comps up front rated at 150 rms and rear coax spks. rated at 100 , and I know i don't have to use rears, but i have rear seat passengers a ll the time [ three kids] and they love listening to music . Anyhow , how do I feed the comps enough power without overpowering the rear spks. Recommendations please! I was about to buy a Sundown 100.4 because I assumed they were all 150 rms, now i'm afraid the rears won't take the power if the amp is underrated. Sorry the spks are CDT and I think they're entry line , 626/622.

Hey welcome to the forum! where a lot of knowledgeable ppl share idea's!

now you currently own a 4channel amp or no? and how are you running your front and rear speakres? off of the h/u

and the sundown 100.4 does rated power. hands down!

but ya the best way to run comps and a pair of rear speaker is to use a 4channel amp that can output 100 or 150rms x4channel at 4ohm! the 100.4 would be a great choose! as for giving the comps 150 and the rears 100rms just simply turn down the gain!

Since channels 1&2 are ran individually from channels 3&4 then you can throw the components on 3&4 and coaxials on 1&2 or vice versa. Each set of channels has a gain that controls the power it puts out just adjust the one for the coaxials lower than the components.
