Default Need amp advice

Well I pulled the trigger and ordered a SD 1200.4 and I also have a new unopened SD 800.4 and a dsp on the way also
I have a RF head unit also with gz 6.5 yellow basket coaxial
and boss 6x9 in the lids. Should I just run the 1200 at 4 ohms per ch and power all 4 speakers or should I use both amps and bridge them and dial then in with a meter to keep from over powering them

Add speakers in the lowers and use both amps. After the amp is dialed in adjust from DSP. it can be fun and madding at the same time. lol You amps are fine for the yellow baskets. I am not an expert but you won't over power those speakers with those amp. Good luck
