Amp wiring

[greenhead84]

So I finally gathered all the amps and speakers I am going to use. I know I have asked a thousand amp questions, but with buying my friends stuff this shall be my final question... Hopefully.

I have two exile sx65Q surf speakers
Rated at 125W RMS/250W Max 4 ohms

I have four exile sx65m cabin speakers
Rated at 100W RMS/250W Max 4 ohms

I have a Kicker 450.2 amp
4 ohms: 150 watts x 2 chan.
2 ohms: 225 watts x 2 chan.
Bridged, 4 ohms: 450 watts x 1 chan.

I have a Boston Acoustics gt-2200
4 ohms: 200 watts x 2 chan.
2 ohms: 350 watts x 2 chan.
Bridged, 4 ohms: 700 watts x 1 chan.
Bridged, 2 ohms: 900 watts x 1 chan.

What would be the best and most efficient way to hook these speakers up to these amps(a diagram would be awesome).
Thanks for all the help y'all have given!!

How important is it that you be able to fade front to back?

I would run the tower speakers (Exile surf) off the Boston Acoustic ... wired as 2 channel; 4 ohm. That gives each speaker 200'ish watts.

I would run the in boats (65m) off the Kicker 450.2 in parallel. Running each channel at 2 ohms. That gives 110'ish watts per speaker.

fading isn't important...

Like this?

Yea, like that top picture for the in boats .. 2 speakers on each channel, + to + and - to -. You can jump from speaker to speaker if easier (not sure where all your speakers are located).

The tower speakers will just be 1 speaker per channel.

If you have left/right preout on your headunit you can wire an amp to each. That will give you control over the tower and in boat via the fader on the head unit.

Yep -- if you don't need to fade, KGs advice is exactly correct. You can wire the inboat speakers either at the speaker or at the amp.
