This is moving faster than my comprehension (almost). Glad there are folks like y'all who are in the know and willing to share the knowledge. Many thanks.

Yes Sir! It's the perfect set up. Phone charging and streaming quality music.

Power and Ground to the battery. Remote to the orange/white headlight harness. The RCA's are on the harness.

My man asked for Simple. This set up is about as simple as it gets!

I have a question about the Polk MM651s- 100 w continuous at 2.7 ohms? How would I achieve that load? How would that equate to a 4 ohm output? I don't understand this electrical stuff.

What would the next step up in speakers be? Thanks much for all the advice.

lots of very respectable amps mentioned in these forums are 2 ohm stable, so when choosing one, make sure u check the spec sheet or simply ask. any amp your concidering has probly been used by someone here

Those speakers are plenty capable of getting you the sound you are looking for! No need to stress on the resistance of the speakers. I've already done that for you. As hog said as long as the AMP is 2 and 4 ohm compatible you can run two or four ohm speakers. If you want a step up 4 ohm speaker you're getting into the Hertz and focal stuff.

Well, for now I have an iPod and some earbuds. I think I'm on a mission to learn about amps, speakers, impedance, loads...

Teacher, may I go home now? My brain is full. Again, thank you all very much.
