    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.

    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.
    I've got a budget of $1,000. That should be more than enough.

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