Powering speakers: How much power will I need?
Will the amp below properly power speakers in my 300TE? Dash are 4 ohm, front door are 2 ohm and rear door are 6 ohm.
When I checked impedance of each speaker they are actually as follows: Dash 3.4 ohm, front door 1.6 ohm, and rear door 5.2 ohm.
A four channel amp that at 12 volts puts out 50 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms.

Do you have crossover for this?? Because as i see it, you have 6 speakers in total and only 4 channel speaker. Anyway, the main worry will be the 2 ohm speaker, make sure your amp is ok with 2 ohm load.
