Rookie System Installer

okay so i bought a nice 1700watt lightning audio system and am in the process of installing it. it all seems very straight forward and installation isnt exactly what my question is regarding. i have a few small ones. so

Number 1: my system has two amps,a B4.250.2 and a B4.320.4 now the 320 has 4 places to connect speaker wires fronts LR and rears LR and the 250 has 1 Left and Right. my car has 6 speakers. (4) 6.5" and (2) 4". should i wire the 6.5" speakers to the 320 and the 4" speakers to the 250. that makes sense but im not sure if thats the way it should be done.

Number 2: the 6.5" speakers in my front doors are still stock and i dont have replacements for them at the moment. im looking at some online and found a good deal on a set of 3-way speakers. but the ones im installing now in the back are 2-way. will this cause a problem or is it fine to install different speakers in the same system?

Thanks,
Thomas

everything sounds like it will be ok, but it may be difficult to tune with all those speakers

yeah. but using 3-way speakers with the 2-way's wont cause problems tho right?

in reference to what?

If you have a 4 channel amplifier and a 2 channel amp.

Hook 4 speakers up to one,

hook 2 speakers up to another.

Start tuning them by using low volume on the amps with 50% on the head unit to start with.

Then turn up the amps independently until you reach equilibrium.

adjust your bass boost accordingly.

I still do not understand your question in reference to

*using two way speakers with 3 way speakers*

3 way speakers are, bass, mids, highs,
2 way speakers are, either, mids, highs or bass, highs

thank you that helps a lot. and what i mean is that right now i have (4) 2-way Speakers hooked up to the 4 channel amp. and im asking if i replace (2) of those speakers with a pair of 3-way speakers will there be a problem.

a coaxial just has one tweeter, a triax (3-way) has two. It won't effect the sound much as far as balance, maybe the 3-way will be a little brighter

Do you have a SUV or something? Thats a lot of speakers lol. If you tune everything the right way, you really shouldnt be able to tell. Its not a problem at all. Good Luck!

so long as the Ohm's are the same it wont cause ANY problems whatsoever.

the 3way systems are basically 2 way speakers with a Tweeter mounted on top.

As long as the OHM load is identical to the 2way speakers you'll be just cherry :p
