Okay, I started off my car audio system by replacing the factory speakers. Heres my intended setup:
Front Speakers Infinity Refernce 6012si Shallow mounts 50 watts @ 4ohms RMS 150 watts @ 4 ohms Peak Power
Front Amp Alpine MRP-F200 (40 watts x 4ch. @ 4 ohms RMS 75 watts peak power)but will run it at 100 watts x 2 ch Bridged 4 ohms RMS @ 180 watts Peak Power
Which Comes to question #1. Is the Amp too powerful to run these speakers in 2 channel bridged mode? Should i just run the amp in 4 channel mode and power the two front speakers or both the front and rear?
So whats the best scenario for me to run here? I don't want to go out and buy a new 4 channel amp and I don't want to under/over(blow) power any of my component speakers....
definitely leave the amp in 4 channel mode and run fronts/rears with it. infinity refs aren't very forgiving when overpowered and tend to blow. you'll also get better results with power to those alpines. leave it powering all 4.
