Which wiring to amp option would you do?
I am going to have some options here in the next month of how to wire my 3 way front and then rear fill (yes I want to try rear fill, lets not get into that argument).
Here is what I will be using
Alpine PDX-V9 140w x 4 and 566w x 1 (to sub)
Alpine PDX-F6 173w x 4
Option 1:
Wire midbass and midrange to F6 (173w x 4)
Wire tweeters and rear speakers to V9 (140w x 4)
Option 2:
Wire midbass to F6 bridged (346w x 2)
Wire midrange and tweeters to V9 (140w x 4)
Pick up an alpine ktp-445u and have 90w x 2 on rears
Option 3:
Wire midbass to v9 bridged (280 x 2)
Wired midrange and tweeters to F6 (173w x 4)
Pick up an alpine ktp-445u and have 90w x 2 on rears
What option would you do?

I would say that Option 1 would more than suffice.
I know everybody loves lots of power, but you're getting into 'laws of dimishing returns' territory...
Re: Which wiring to amp option would you do?
Ya, I was kind of leaning towards option 1 because that is already quite a bit of power. But for $100 for the ktp-445u I didn't know if bridging to the midbass would be worth it or not.
I guess I can do option 1 and then always change it to option 2 or 3 later if I want.

I would go for option one unless you have some power hungry midbass drivers.

Option 1 is more than enough power for the midbass drivers and the midrange and tweeters need even less, a lot less.
