just to throw another scenario out there. Say you want to run fairing and lower 6.5s (same 4 speakers) and 8s in the bags or lids. Your amp is 90 watts X 4 @4ohm and 150 watts X 4 @2 ohm. You could potentially run the 6 speakers off of 1 amp and try to get the most out of it with a pro audio setup. The high efficiency of the pro audio will benefit from this.
4 4ohm speakers paralleled on channels 1&2 to make a 2ohm load (amp must be 2ohm stable) and then bridge channels 3&4 to 2 8ohm 8s in the lids or bags. Fairing and lowers could see around 75 watts a piece and the lids or bags could see around 150 watts a piece.
Now a small second amp would need to be used for horns to round out the setup.
Mainly just showing an example of wiring options with high efficient and 8 ohm speakers.

Hey now I'm still using my TN4.900D to drive my AW 6.5s, BT30s, TS6900 Pros in the lids and am more than happy.
