You are running the amp in bridged mode correct? Not trying to beat you up about your install, just trying to save you from seeing the magic smoke that renders **** useless.

Clearly I had a stroke and made up my own numbers. I better turn that **** down. No clue how I keep screwing things up. Maybe I should take this a an opportunity to add new tweeters in the gauge holes and run them at 2 ohms. I should have to have all my purchases approved by the forum.
No, it's not in bridge mode. I ended up with the NVX VADM2 amp, so each channel is rated at 150 rms, but from the Sonic video, it's closer to 185 per channel. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy the Fosgate lid kit and wire them in together at 2 ohms. Then I could turn the gain down and get more sound with 4 speakers at 100 watts each.

Ok, I can do Fosgate lids, or I can do Hog Werks lids and buy my own speakers. Bottom line, which speaker reproduces better sound, the Fosgate 6x9 or one of the various coax 6x9s in the sub $200 price range? The kicker is it needs to run 2ohm at about 130 watts.

I think you're putting your cart WAY out ahead of your horse. You're not going to be happy with the outcome running all those speakers on that 2ch amp, regardless of how you wire them.
Fill me in. Even with 100 watts to each of the 4 speakers, you don't think it would sound better?
