I am looking to get an amp for my speakers. i have 4 infinities that are 4ohm 100watts rms each and i was wondering if i get the orion 4002, which is 200watts rms x2 at 2ohms will i be able to hook up one channel to the left side and one channel to the right side? So, i would have 2 speakers on one channel at a 2 ohm load but the speakers are 4ohm speakers, is that ok? and would it deliver 100watts to eack speaker? so pretty much what im asking is that can i hook 2 4ohm speakers up 2 one channel and have it be running at 2ohms?

i have no idea dvc or svc, they are infinity kappa's, and i wouldnt use a mono amp i would use a 2 channel because to get 100watts at 4ohm in an amp means i would have to go with the orion 8004 and im trying to save some money, so i was told i could wire a 2 channel to the left side and one 2 the right and then they would be at 2 ohm cause they ahve 2 4ohm speakers

i would be using it for 2 infinity kappa 63.5i (6.5" 3ways)and 2 693.5i speakers (6x9" 3ways). I tried to find out if they are dvc or svc but i cant find it anywhere, they have an external cross over if that helps but other than that idk and no im not using that for my subs i am going to get the orion 1200D for subs.

ok - i now realised u originally were talking about running speakers alone & not subs off a 4chan amp - my bad but i understand now

Most speakers only come in 4ohms as far as i remember seeing ...

so 6.5 = 75wrms
6x9 = 100 wrms

if u use 2 chans off that amp it does
2 X 200 @ 4 Ohm

& if u connect (2) 4ohms speakers together it = a 2ohms load

proper thing 2 do is buy the 8004 model instead - search ebay .......

the specs that i found say that it does 200watts x2 at 2ohm not 4ohm... and i have looked into the 8004 but i cant afford it because i have to get the 1200D as well so i just wanted the 4002 and i just need to know if it will work with the speakers that i have considering the impedience difference.

Rovin can you help me out one more time... will i be able to hear a difference in it with the 4002 over just the head unit cause i dont want my 2 alpine type R's to over power my speakers, i just want it to all sound good togeather. so will the orion 4002 do that for me?
