Default Adding speaker lids, amp?

I have the pbr300x2 now pushing hertz 6.5 140w 4ohm. I just got the hogtune lids with hogtunes 6x9 200w 2 ohm speakers.
Can I or should I use the pbr300x2? Will it be sufficient?
Thanks

all depends on what you are "expecting"...
give it a try I would say - you will obviously not be able to fade....
put the HT parallel to the Fairing speakers...
you are roughly looking at 70-80W per speaker (depending on your birthsheet). should be "enough"...

or sell and get SS or PA RZ - you probably are looking at a wash money wise...

Can you use it? YES. Should you use it? Hold the phone!! As AAWAV said. Depends on your expectations. If it were me I'd take a look at swapping out those hog tune 6 x 9's. Much better 6 x 9 options out there. To keep it simple I would sell the X2 and go with the SS or the PA per AAWAV's suggestion or just buy another X2. Running 2 ohm and 4 ohm speakers in parallel off a two channel amp is not going to work out.

I STAND CORRECTED.... thought both speakers were 4 ohm.
4 ohm and 2 ohm parallel on the X2... NOPE, I would not do it, unless you are playing low volume ().
get the SS or PA, sell off X2 (and as Gann stated - the HT speakers; replace with f.e. Pioneers or other ones mentioned on this audio forum).
