    As I have below speakers installed and want to ask what amplifier is safe to run them:

    Front:
    - Focal TWU 1.5 Universal Tweeter 4ohm
    - Focal RCX 690 6X9'' 4ohm

    Rear:
    - Focal Polygrass 165 v30 6.5" two way

    I am not sure if I can run them with 4 channel ?
    Please help me

    Only 3 speakers are listed. How did you come up with 8?

    My strong suggestion for you if you want an excellent amplifier that's not gonna cost you that much. Call the company Rockford fosgate and ask them exactly what you posted here. I been using Rockford fosgate the punch since the 80's and its still running beautiful today.
    Last 10 years ago I bought another 2 sets of tri amp and its sounds just the same as the 80's. Totally analog with a lot of punch and clarity.
    when you call the rockford customer service, they are all based here and they have so much experience with these amp they will tell you the ins and outs and wont mke you buy something you don't need. Theyre in for a long term not like others.
    2 years ago, I added 1- 10" Rockford fosgate subwoofer dual voice coil on my prius and a rockford mono amp. Top 3 best sub that I had for this category and size. I bought it from sonic electronix. the speaker, amp, amp controller and speaker box and wiring kit.

    1. Rockford Fosgate P300X1 (the punch series)
    2. Rockford Fosgate RFPEQU Universal Punch EQ: 1
    3. Atrend 10SQV: 1
    4. Rockford Fosgate Punch P2D4-10: 1
    Shipping fee: $0.00

    A friend gave me a 4 channel amplifier Focal FPX4.800 which has this spec:
    • 4-/3-/2-channel Class D amplifier
    • 2-/4-channel input modes
    • Stable at 2 Ohms
    • Active crossover for each pair of channels
    • CEA power (4 ohms) 4x120 Watts
    • RMS Max. power (2 ohms) 4x185 Watts
    • RMS Max. power (4 ohms bridged) 2x370 Watts RMS

    Can anyone suggest a safe way to connect all the speakers into this 4 channel amp?
