i have 2 momo 10s, a 300.2 momo amp and a 4 channel MTX amp.

i had the inside speakers running off the MTX, and the 2 10s running off the polk 2 channel in 2 channel mode. but tthe bass was not loud enough, s now i have each 10 bridged to 2 of the channels of the mtx, much better. and i have the 4 insides run off the 2 channel momo amp.

would you guys do it differently? i cant buy more stuff so i got to use what i got.

is the 300.2 bridgable down to 1 ohm or will it burn up. i was thinking of running the 2 10s in parallel bridged to the momo amp.

    the woofers are not dual voice coils, just a streight 4 ohm sub.

    i guess ill just get another 2 channel then , i hate having the fronts and rear run off the same amp, cause i cant fade, and my rears sound way louder than the fronts.

    You could do away with the rears completely. This would not only give you better SQ but increase the power going to the fronts to 150x2 which is PLENTY of power and will be enough to keep up with the subs easily.

    As long as they are a quality set they will be fine so long as he sets his gains appropriately.

    Im putting at least 130 per channel to my Momo 6x9s but my gains are set at 25%, and they handle it and work fine.

    ahh...thats pretty much exactly what i wouldve done...install looks very clean and it looks like a lot of time was put into it
    i wish i had the space of a trunk to do **** in...instead im stuck with under the back seat of a truck...which is a lot harder to work with...lol
