Amplifier Question...

I bought the re audio xxx components. They are rated at 2ohms. Does this mean that I cannot put two 4ohm speakers on the amp for the rear?

You can, but first off WHY would you do that? Also this is on a 4 channel amplifier correct?

Well, I'm trying to do a setup without subs for now...

I'm using a kicker zx650.4 (yes 4 channel) so since the front channels will be two ohm, I was wondering if the rear ones would be ok working at 4ohm.

That was the whole point of my question...i didn't know if it would.

i thought it wouldn't work because it would have to be an equal load on all channels...becasue thats what i always see as specs, i didn't know there could be a different ohm on each channel...

safer than sorry
