I know these questions get repetitive, but I would like to get some suggestions. I have a Zapco 360.4 amp that came with my boat when I bought it several years ago. I have never messed with the setup very much. However, I want to replace the 6 stock in boats with Wetsounds xs-65i RGB's. The amp is rated at 50w x 4 @ 4 ohms, 90w x 4 @ 2 ohms or bridged at 110w x 2 @ 8 ohms, 180w x 2 @ 4 ohms. I know this is an older amp and I am not sure how good it really is, but it works and I don't really want to replace it if possible. I would like to run all 6 speakers off this amp. Each speaker is rated at 60w RMS.
My initial thought was to run two speakers on their own channels @ 50w each and then run two speakers in parallel on each of the other two channels which would equal 45w to each of those speakers. I know this is not the 60w RMS that WS specs for the 65i, but will it make that big of a difference? Is there a better wiring alternative?
