Image Dynamics CXS62 V2 Comp's and CTX57 6x8's

I recently purchased these two sets of speakers from woofers etc. and they upgraded me to the 2 OHM CXS62 V2 since they didn't have the CTX65CS in stock. I plan to run the CXS62's up front and the CTX57's in the back. So, I will be running 4 ohm in the back and 2 ohm in the front. My amp is an Alpine MRP-F300. This amp runs 50 watts at 4 ohm and 75 at 2 ohm. I was just wanting some thoughts about this setup and also thoughts about how the fronts will be 4 and the rears will be 2 ohm. Also will this be enough watts per channel to allow these speakers to sound like they are supposed to sound. I have a 2008 King Ranch F150. Thanks for the input.

I'm running Image Dynamics speakers in my 13, I have the 5x7 comps in the front (XS-57) and the CTX 57's coax in the rear and I'm using a kenwood X450-4 staggered amp that has 100w X2 and 60w X2 and I wired the 100w to the front and it sounds fine. The back is just rear fill anyway so you don't need to match the power level that the front has.

Thanks. I was wondering about the different ohm setup. Shows they were delivered this morning. Can't wait to get home and start the install!

Well, got it all in and I love it! It sounds awesome. A lot more bass than I expected. Very pleased with the sound. It took some cutting of the plastic around the speakers to get the front door panel to slide back on though. Well worth the work. Once I got one side done the other was a lot easier. Image Dynamics rocks!
