Want to add another set of components.

Here' s my current setup.

Alpine 9885 (4V)

Front: CDT CL-62 (160RMS) w/ Soundstream Rubicon 2.600 (180x2 @ 4ohm)

Rear: CDT CL-69X (100RMS) w/ Soundstream Rubicon 2.250 (75x2 @ 4ohm)

Fi BTL 12" D2, loaded (2000RMS) Soundstream Rubicon 1.2500 (2500 @ 1ohm)

I want to add a duplicate set of CL-62 up front.

The 2.600 amp is rated for 300x2 @ 2ohms as well.

So I assume, wire the crossovers in parallel from the amp. + to + and - to -.

That would yield a 2ohm load from the amplifier giving me how many watts per component at 4ohm each?

If i wired them in parallel off the amplifier, I would be getting 300watts per channel @ 2ohm, therefore each component would be receiving 150watts?

Right.

Right.

Wow, that's awesome!

Thanks for confirmation.

Oh also, make sure and give each component set their own crossovers. Don't just put the new speakers on the same passive crossover as the other set. Each individual speaker set (mid + tweet) needs its own passive crossover or else you will mess with crossover points and a host of other things.

Yup, just route the power and ground from one crossover to the other, from the amp. Thanks!
