two fosgate dome tweeters fnp-3401x 4 ohm 50/100 rms/peak--

two fosgate 6x9 inch frc-4269 8w- 75w rms/ 150w peak --

1)my question is how can i get my woofers to get down to 4 ohms or even 2 ohms they are single voice coils and is the punch 45 going to make them hit HARD?

2) will my punch 30 hd be able to handle two tweeters and two 3.5 inch and two 6x9s?

3) will all of this sound good together?

4)shoud i swap the amps and run the punch 30 hd to the 10 inch woofers and the punch 45 to the other 6 speakers

"1)my question is how can i get my woofers to get down to 4 ohms or even 2 ohms they are single voice coils and is the punch 45 going to make them hit HARD"

wire both subs to the punch 45 in parallel, and bridge the punch 45 to single channel. that's 4 ohms to a bridged amp.

"2) will my punch 30 hd be able to handle two tweeters and two 3.5 inch and two 6x9s?"

sure with the proper crossovers

"3) will all of this sound good together?"

thats up to your ears

"4)shoud i swap the amps and run the punch 30 hd to the 10 inch woofers and the punch 45 to the other 6 speakers "

no

"5) will i even need that many speakers"

again, up to you.

"any advise will be appreciated"

let an experienced professional do this install. you'll need passive crossovers built, and an electronic one for the two amps.

"how do i hook up a punch 45 and a punch 30 hd? on the 30 there is 3 screws for wires white black and red? my question is where do the wires go it doesnt specify?"

RTFM

"should i go with the fosgate 10 inch rfz-3410 4 ohm or the fosgate 10 inch rfz-3810 8 ohm -- which is going to do the best job in my car"

two 8 ohm subs on a bridged stereo amp.

"which two of these wires will i be using and what am i connecting them to"

again, RTFM

the XM3 is a good crossover, but it's electronic, and used for splitting frequencies between multiple amps.
you need passive filters built for each speaker, unless your 3.5" and tweeters are a component set with their own crossovers.

RTFM is "read the f***ing manual" :-)
