Default Saddlebag 6x9 setup

So I’m adding saddlebag lid speakers for sure but not sure if I want to add two inside the bags. Kenwood head unit, focal fdp sport, focal krx2 2 ohm components up front and T talked me into the mmats ps69cx 6x9 for rear. My question is should I run one set of 6 x 9’s just in the lids and run the system at four ohms or add a second set inside the bags and run the system at two ohms. what are advantages disadvantages. Sound, heat, power consumption etc. Looking for the best possible way to set the system up. Thank you guys so much for your help I really appreciated it in my last post😀

i'd start with the Mmats in the lids and see how you like it, if it's enough (NEVER), put a pair of DD VO6x9s or a pair of 8s inside.

You’re right it never is enough that’s why am thinking about adding four of the same mmats on the rear two Channels so I can bridge them and run my whole system at two ohms off that amp. 250x4 at 2 ohm amp

Totally agree w Marco. Run the lids then let ur ears decide what the next step is.
I gonna guess that a micro amp mounted under the hood tied to some 8s inside the bag might be ur next step.
